I have some allrun scripts that work completely fine on windows subsystem for linux.
I'm however unable to run them on a virtual machine running on linux.

some info:
the main allrun script calls other allrun scripts in subdriectories.
The allrun scripts were copied and edited from a random tutorial directory.
Both - the windows subsystem for linux as well as the virtual machine are running the same version: OF1906

I have tried the following:
chmod -R a+rX * on each directory with the allrun scripts.

now I get the message :
Can't open /bin/tools/RunFunctions

However, if I run a copy of an existing tutorial in the same directory, it runs.

Any suggestions about what might be going wrong and how it can be fixed?

...maybe can be \ instead of / ?

I don't think so.
Cant see any difference in the content of the script that is working and the ones that are not.

open a terminal and type:

simpleFoam -help

If the system is giving such an output (must not be identical), then that means that openfoam is installed correctly and the problem is in the script...

if not then type:

gedit ~/.bashrc

at the ende of the file you opened type:

source /opt/openfoam7/etc/bashrc

then save and restart the terminal and retest.

Maybe it's the line termination.
Test by writing
file "filename" ex file Allrun and you will see
"filename": POSIX shell script, ASCII text executable, with CRLF line terminators

linux doesn't use CRLF (windows) of CR (mac), you can remove them by
sed -i 's/\r$//g' "filename"
ex sed -i 's/\r$//g' Allrun
