Hi all, This question is not really Mandrake specific although I am usingMike,
Mandrake8.2 (and like it alot!)...anyways trying to learn the bash shell.
I wrote a small script (the "Hello World" script) and named it "HW".
I did a "chmod 755" to it, so all could read and execute it.
I made a /bin directoy in my home directoy and put the script there.
But my problem is I can only execute it when I am in the directoy of the
script. I have a permission problem(I think), but cant seem to find it. Any help
would be appreciated.
Here is where scipt is at:
/home/mike/bin/practice_script/
[mike@avatar practice_script]$ ls -al
total 12
drwxr-xr-x 2 mike mike 4096 Dec 28 09:51 ./
drwxr-xr-x 3 mike mike 4096 Dec 28 21:24 ../
-rwxr-xr-x 1 mike mike 52 Dec 28 09:51 HW*
-rw-r--r-- 1 mike mike 0 Dec 28 09:49 HW~
If I execute the script any where but /practice_script/ I get this
[mike@avatar mike]$ ./HW
bash: ./HW: No such file or directory
Thanks,
Mike
When you call it from anywhere else except the directory where it's located how are you calling it? for instance...if yo're in /home/mike and you want to call the script you would call it this way:
bin/practice_script/HW [enter]
Is this how you're doing it?
