"Ambiguous redirect" error when executing a script

In the below code snippet, I keep getting this error message:

#!/bin/sh
java -jar /opt/wiremock/wiremock-standalone-2.7.1.jar -port 9393 --container-threads 200  --verbose >> /opt/wiremock/wiremock.log 2>&1

Error:

bash: /opt/wiremock/script.sh: line 2: 1#015: ambiguous redirect
Feb  8 17:11:27 ssa2 systemd: wiremock.service: main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE
Feb  8 17:11:27 ssa2 systemd: Unit wiremock.service entered failed state.
Feb  8 17:11:27 ssa2 systemd: wiremock.service failed.**

I have tried commenting out the redirection as in:

java -jar /opt/wiremock/wiremock-standalone-2.7.1.jar -port 9393 --container-threads 200  --verbose #>> /opt/wiremock/wiremock.log 2>&1

and it works properly. However, I would like to make the redirection work so that I have the logs in the specified file.

The first line of your error message is telling you that you have a carriage return at the end of your line.

You have several ways to solve the problem:

  1. Make sure your script has unix-style line endings (eg. dos2unix)

  2. Add a statement terminator to the end of each command, such as: ; #
