http://forums.cpanel.net – The scripts: /scripts/whoowns/scripts/gethomedir ...return with a successful 0 instead of an unsuccessful value when given a bad value. These scripts would be much more useful for incorporating into site-specific shell scripts if they gave non-zero values if an entry was invalid. Steps to reproduce: Code: [root@gator1000 /home]# /scripts/whoowns example.com && echo "Hello, world" Hello, world [root@gator1000 /home]# /scripts/gethomedir goofus && echo "Hello, world" 1 Hello, world I'm not even sure what the '1' is supposed to mean th (HowTos)

I don't use this tool, but "touch /tmp/$1" should not be expected to do anything - you don't pass a parameter to your scripts.  Did you mean to do "touch /tmp/$0" ?

hi all,

ive started writing scripts to launch some of my programs, but am having mixed results. i am saving them all in the /bin folder (is this typical?). for about half of the scripts they run fine from the terminal home directoy, however for the other half i must " cd /bin" before i can run "sh script". im not quite sure why this is happening.

Shellscript Reengineering 43 weeks 2 days ago

Dear Community,

I've an urgent issue due to a migration of an application from HP-Unix to Linux. We have a mass of scripts which are running at a dedicated server on hpunix. Now we do not know, which further scripts exists on this machine. the idea is, that we crawl through the scripts we already know and identify further scripts which are addressed in those.

Can I assume that enough people have zsh installed to run scripts with a

#!/usr/bin/env zsh

as shebang?

Or will this make my scripts un-runnable on too much systems?

Clarification: I’m interested in programs/scripts an end user might want to run (like on Ubuntu, Debian, SUSE, Arch &c.)

In my old shop, we only had AIX machines there (all of version 6.1 ). FTP ports were not open for these AIX machines because of some security thing.

i have been playing around with shell scripting, nothing too complex just learning the basics. if i try to run a script as root (by entering "sudo" then the "command") it says command not found. i can only do it ass root if i specify the full path (/home/username/bin/command) im pretty sure the directory that my scripts are in are part of the superusers path.
