Kickstart Config

Guys, need some help.

I have a scenario where I need to do the following..

a: configure eth1 as the Service Console

b: run IP configuration of the Service Console in %POST% section and copy standard config file

c: during the %POST% section, run a sh configuration file to configure Port Groups, VLANs etc

I've created the config file to cover all these options but I get an error when the host base builds, reboots and attempts to call the test-cluster-a.sh file.

The error I get is.. :bad interpreter: No such file or directory

I've posted my config file below...
