When I am trying to execute my solaris installer I get this message...
!: not found

The installer executes fine and I am successfully able to install my solaris installer,but why this message.?

Thanks

I am also getting the same message on Solaris. Any idea?

Could it be an issue with creating the package using JDK 1.6? Our previous release with JDK 1.5 do not have this issue.

This occurs in the self-extracting phase before installation and it's somewhere in this code taken from the Unix self-extractor:

[ $LAX_DEBUG ] && echo "Space needed to complete the self-extraction: $NEEDED_SPACE blocks"

sePwd=`pwd`
cd "$INSTBASE"

AVAIL_SPACE=`$DF_CMD . 2>/dev/null | awk "{print \\\$$DF_AVAIL_COL}" | tail $TAILN1ARG`

isValidNumber()
{
	awk 'BEGIN { 
		if ( ARGV[1] ~ /^[0-9]+$/ ) {
			exit(0);
		} else {
			exit(1); 
		}
	     }' "$1"

	return $?
}

if ! isValidNumber "$AVAIL_SPACE"; then
	echo "DF output not POSIX standard" 

	AVAIL_SPACE=`$DF_CMD . 2>/dev/null | awk -F: '{ print $2 }' | awk '{ print $1 }' | tail $TAILN1ARG`

	if ! isValidNumber "$AVAIL_SPACE"; then
		unset $AVAIL_SPACE
	fi 
fi

[ $LAX_DEBUG ] && echo "Available space: $AVAIL_SPACE blocks"

I believe its the problem of the shell.The error message appears when the installer is executed in bash and sh, it does not come up in ksh.
