Recently was getting a strange error when running a script that

Just adding the line fixes the issue, but not sure why??
Have run the script before with no such error, but had been a while? Script was just one
line? Now 2 lines.
#!/usr/bin/bash
boincmgr -e /home/msetzerii/BOINC -d /home/msetzerii/BOINC
I understand that adding the shebang makes it likely that this was
something to do with the script, but was wondering if somehow the
"free" error was actually coming from boincmgr.
Also, any chance in the past you invoked it as "sh script.sh" as
opposed to "./script.sh"? And now you are just doing "./script.sh"?
That would explain the change in behavior.
