rm fails to delete files by wildcard from a script, but works from a shell prompt

Question

I\'ve run into a really silly problem with a Linux shell script. I want to delete all files with the extension \".bz2\" in a directory. In the script I call

rm \         


        

Answer 1

I've seen similar errors when calling a shell script like ./shell_script.sh from another shell script. This can be fixed by invoking it as sh shell_script.sh
