What is wrong here ?

root@box:/home/tc# which es
/usr/local/sbin/es
root@box:/home/tc# ls -l `which es`
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root          8525 Apr 11 12:47 /usr/local/sbin/es
root@box:/home/tc# es
/bin/sh: es: not found
root@box:/home/tc# $PATH
/bin/sh: /home/tc/.local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/apps/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin: not found

==TIA

I don't know what 'es' is, but most likely it's looking for the wrong loader. Try: ldd $(which es)

..or it's a bash, perl or python script

Might be better to explain what exactly "es" is?

>  Try: ldd $(which es)
I didn't know that syntax. I use:  ldd `which gpm`
        linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ffd3d192000)
        libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x00007efdffb12000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x00007efdff7a5000)
        /lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x0000558bc584f000)
es is an old bash-script, from normal linux: where <that> error mesg would have meant
no executable named "es" is in the $PATH; AFAIK?

[Juanito]

If es is a bash script, then either the bash extension was not loaded or the shebang (location of bash in the first line of the script) is incorrect since /usr/local/sbin is in the default tinycore path.

[andyj]

Back quotes are the old style. $(...) is the current way, and has the advantage of being nestable. The error message doesn't mean that "es" can't be found, it means as Juanito said that either the bash extension isn't loaded (bash isn't part of the TC base) or you copied the script from a system that has bash installed in a different location.
