My problem occurred coz I transferred the script from a windows machine to linux. Once I converted it to unix compatible file (using dos2unix command) the problem went away

How about a real solution: allow interpreters to run files that are open and locked! This (recent) kernel change sucks.

I had type this command :
pkill myscript.sh

but if you want use lsof the -t option show only the PID :
kill `lsof -t myscript.sh`
