Why running awk i got that kid of problem?
bash: /usr/bin/awk: cannot execute binary file
i'm under macosx tiger and the filesystem is in writeable mode
bash returns that message when the system doesn't recognise the
file as an executable one (one in the format of executable files
it recognises, such as ELF files or files starting with a #!
line) and bash itself doesn't want to execute it itself (as a
bash script) (because it is a binary file; and the test bash
uses to recognise whether it's a binary file or not is to check
whether the first line contains a NUL character).
So it would seem your /usr/bin/awk file got corrupted or
something like that.
Can you execute it from another shell?
What does "file /usr/bin/awk" tell you?
