Why do I get failed to execute child process?
So, I have a .sh file on my desktop, and I want to run it in the terminal. The first line is #! /bin/bash , then a blank line, then my command. I choose Run in terminal when I double click it, and it gives me:
There was an error creating the child process for this terminal Failed to execute child process "/home/(my name)/Desktop/run.sh" (No such file or directory)
Thunder bolts and lightning, very very frightening!
So, it is there, why isn't terminal opening it?
bash

You have made it executable? It would be helpful to have more of the script, especially the command - I think that is the problem...

Your first line is wrong. You have a space between #! and /bin/bash. Remove that space and enjoy your script.
