Running shell script with Oozie

Question

I am trying to run a sh script through Oozie, but I am facing a problem:

Cannot run program \"script.sh\" (in directory \"/mapred/local/tas

Answer 1

I had this same issue because of something really silly. I added a shell block in the workflow, then I selected the corresponding sendMail.sh, but I forgot to add the file sendMail.sh in FILE +.

Answer 2

workflow.xml :

...
<shell>
  <exec>script.sh</exec>

  <file>scripts/script.sh</file>
</shell>
...

Make sure you have scripts/script.sh in the same folder in hdfs.

Answer 3

In addition to what others said, this can also be caused by a shell script having wrong line endings (e.g. CRLF for Windows). At least this happened to me :)
