Is there a problem with naming a bash script file "script"? I'm using Fedora 11.
Michael [mich...@localhost ~]$ bash --version GNU bash, version 4.0.23(1)-release (i386-redhat-linux-gnu) [mich...@localhost ~]$ cat ./bin/temp #!/bin/bash # Sample shell script echo "The date today is `date`" echo Your shell is $SHELL echo Your home directory is $HOME echo The processes running on your system are shown below: ps [mich...@localhost ~]$ temp The date today is Fri Jul 24 22:03:59 EDT 2009 Your shell is /bin/bash Your home directory is /home/michael The processes running on your system are shown below: PID TTY TIME CMD 3026 pts/1 00:00:00 bash 3057 pts/1 00:00:00 temp 3059 pts/1 00:00:00 ps [mich...@localhost ~]$ mv ./bin/temp ./bin/script [mich...@localhost ~]$ cat ./bin/script #!/bin/bash # Sample shell script echo "The date today is `date`" echo Your shell is $SHELL echo Your home directory is $HOME echo The processes running on your system are shown below: ps [mich...@localhost ~]$ script Script started, file is typescript [mich...@localhost ~]$
