how to write a shell script to run multiple programs

Question

I want to run two programs

ssh -f mike@c15-0330-02 'cd /home && nohup Rscript L_1.R> L_1_sh.txt '

AND

ssh -f mike@c15-0330-03 'cd /home && nohup Rscript L_2.R> L_2_sh.txt '

I write a shell script as

ssh -f mike@c15-0330-02 'cd /home && nohup Rscript L_1.R> L_1_sh.txt ' &
ssh -f mike@c15-0330-03 'cd /home && nohup Rscript L_2.R> L_2_sh.txt ' &

But it always shows

: command not found:
: command not found:
: command not found:

Did the commands work on there own? i.e. ssh -f mike@c15-0330-02 'cd /home && nohup Rscript L_1.R> L_1_sh.txt ' — richard, Apr 15 at 9:55

Make sure your paths on the remote are correct. Most scripts don't live under /home

Did the questioner forget the ./ before the Rscript or was it something else. – richard Apr 15 at 9:57
