Re: Help runninh .sh files

Hello all,

We are replacing a SCO system. Our old system had many custom .sh files
in the /usr/bin directory. These files could be executed from any
directory including / by just typing the file name.

Example:

/usr/bin/file.sh could be executed from / by typing "file"

Kevin, did you use "file" literally or as an example. If the former,
what does /usr/bin/file.sh do? If you type "file", I would think
that /bin/file is being executed.

in /usr/bin there is an entry for every file like file -> /usr/bin/file

Not file -> /usr/bin/file.sh ? This would be a sym link.

Check your path
echo $PATH
to see the search order for execution.

I suggest you move all of your .sh files to some other directory,
then inlcude that directory in your path.

You might also want to test for the existence of like-named files
in /etc, /bin, and /usr/bin before re-creating links to the .sh files.


How do I recreate these links on my new machine?

Do a "man basename" to see how you might write a script to
quickly link all files of the form xyz.sh to xyz

Good luck,
Dan Martin


Cheers!
