I try to mount an iso file from a script, but it doesn't work. However the same command functions normally when executed from bash. Why? I'm suspecting it's because the command needs sudo.
sudo mount -t iso9660 myiso.iso mydir 2> /dev/null
This is the exact command I have in my script. No errors when I run the script (2> /dev/null, duh), but not even when I remove this part, since the script simply doesn't mount. I've tried running the script with sh script.sh and nothing happens, same by running ./script.sh. The script has full permissions.
When I execute this command in bash it works, if I remove the /dev/null part it gives the typical warning that the file was mounted in read-only mode.
#! /bin/bash
mkdir mydir
sudo mount -t iso9660 myiso.iso mydir
That's my script.

Yes,mount(usually) requires privileges (e.g.,sudo).  In the script, are you giving the fullsudo mount …command that you show above, or justmount …?  What happens?  Does it ask for a password?  Does it give an error message? How are you running the script?  Are you running it withsudo?  Are you running it with &?  Do not respond in comments; edit your question to make it clearer and more complete.

Now it is more clear. However, "I" is always uppercase on English. If I see next time an "i" from you, I won't fix your post, rather I will silently vote for "leave closed".

@roaima Did what you asked and reduced the script to the basic format by excluding unessential bits. Problem still remains. It's as if the script makes mydir and then ends without any errors or anything.
