A shorter shortcut would be an alias in .bashrc like this: alias d2g='/usr/local/bin/dxf2gcode' To make that happen one could echo "alias d2g='/usr/local/bin/dxf2gcode'" >> .bashrc and execute . .bashrc while in home directory; needed only until the reboot. Another possibility is a link like this: cd /usr/local/bin ln -s dxf2gcode d2g No need for additional script at all. _cd_ in scripts is not needed in general; full path does the same thing. It is needed when creating tar with certain structure for example. > #!/bin/bash > cd /your/path/to/dxf2gcode > ./dxf2gcode_b02.py 2>/dev/null& > > Copy the file (d2g) to the /usr/local/bin directory and make it executable > > sudo cp d2g /usr/local/bin/ > sudo chmod 775 /usr/local/bin/d2g > > Now you can execute the program from anywhere by typing d2g > > Cheers, > > Mark Watch for the script to have lines properly terminated with LF instead of CRLF as I see it too often causing troubles in Unix. -- Rafael ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ThinkGeek and WIRED's GeekDad team up for the Ultimate GeekDad Father's Day Giveaway.
