[TriLUG] Odd behavior on different hosts

You may have an alias that has the same name as a function that you are trying to define.

Subject: [TriLUG] Odd behavior on different hosts

Hey Folks,

I have a strange problem I am experiencing with a shell script. I have a
bunch of bash shell scripts that are purely function definitions. I then
include these functions in my scripts as I need them using the following:

source /path_to_function_script_file

Now on most of the hosts in our environment this works fine.

However, on one box in particular I get the following error:

'/script.sh: /export/home/my_uid/scr/sh/lib/db.lib: line 14: syntax error
near unexpected token `{

If I cat /etc/release on both machines the results are identical.
If I execute bash --version on both machines the results are identical.

My question is, are there other factors that could be causing the
inconsistent behavior??

Thanks for any and all help!

Shawn
