Hi,

I am putting the below config in ec2\_lc module for the server to run the script at the time of start.

user\_data:  
{  
#!/bin/bash  
source /home/centos/startup.sh  
}

But It is not working.

It is giving me below error.

Can someone please suggest where I am making a mistake?

Thanks,

Rohit
