Just learned a trick about that from
(http://iptables-tutorial.frozentux.net/chunkyhtml/x4983.html).
Temporarily replace #!/bin/bash with #!/bin/bash -x
That prints out everything as the script proceeds which is extremely useful for
debugging.
(Probably one of those things virtually everybody knows who has worked
seriously with scripts, but I was not aware of it until a few days ago.)
The Bourne shell uses -s if I remember correctly, but I never thought of
putting these options in the magic first line. Good idea, though!
Anyway, the culprit for the failure is clear: cat. It does not exist on
Windows,
so I will change the script to use echo instead (as that is an internal
command).
