Thanks for responding. I tried ./RCBServer just now, and still get the 
"Command not found" response. Also the first line in the script is 
#!/bin/sh. I do have sh at that location, and when I type "/bin/sh" I 
get a shell prompt. I verified that the execute bit is set for all three 
groups on /bin/sh. Also, I have many other scripts that I can run by 
typing their name. For example I have a Tomcat startup script named 
Tomcat that I can execute by typing Tomcat from the script directory. It 
has the same first line as the script that won't execute. The Wrapper 
script came with a space after !, i.e. #! /bin/sh. My Tomcat script 
doesn't have this space, i.e. #!/bin/sh, so I tried that also and still 
get the Command not found error.

If I try to launch the script via double-clicking in the Finder, the 
system asks me what application I want to use to open that document. But 
the metadata for the file says that it's a Unix executable file. I don't 
know if that's normal, or a hint to what is preventing this script from 
executing.
