problems scripting in linux over ssh from mac

Question

I have a problem using nano in a server throught ssh from mac or other linux. If I write 'sleep 10' in the terminal, over ssh, it works. if I do 'echo "sleep 10" > test.sh' and sh test.sh, it works. If I open nano, write 'sleep 10' and save as test.sh and do 'sh test.sh' doesnt works saying that 10\r invalid time interval.

Any ideas?

thx an advance

It smells like the file you are editing already had \r (which is also known as CR or ^M) at the ends of some of it's lines

sed -i 's/\r$//' test.sh

will cure that.
