Answer 1

It seems you are missing a new line. The # results in the exec-command being interpreted as part of the command.
#!/bin/bash
exec solana-validator \
--identity ~/validator-keypair.json \
--vote-account ~/vote-account-keypair.json \
--rpc-port 8899 \
--entrypoint entrypoint.mainnet-beta.solana.com:8001 \
--limit-ledger-size \ --log ~/solana-validator.log
