http://forums.opensuse.org – Hello, Upon upgrading to suse11.2, I've noticed a reoccurring problem. I use tcsh. When I execute by hand a command that is in my path...located in say "~/bin/myscript"....the command executes without an issue. I don't need to use the absolute path "~/bin/myscript", I can simply type the command "myscript" since the path "~/bin" is in my .tcshrc file. When I execute the same command from a script, I get a "command not found" error. A similar issue is when I use the absolute command, but a library necessary the (Distributions)

Stories similar to path not working when executing from script...

I have a doubt about the execution pattern of a unix script.

For example a script containing lines:

command B function C() { Myscript // Myscript is a script command D } command E

and suppose if Myscript takes a long time to execute (say 5 minutes) then is the next command (command D) going to execute or wait for Myscript to complete.

I apologize if this is an overly-long question, but this is detailed, complex stuff I'm wading in:This is from Chapter 1 of the GNU/Linux tutorials:1.5.3. "$PATH" variableWhen you type a command into the shell, the shell searches the command in the list of directories contained in the "$PATH" environment variable.

$Path in fedora 8 3 years 43 weeks ago

I used the command:

PATH=$PATH:/opt/lum/ls/os/linux/bin/;export PATH

in terminal to add that path to the path command, but every time I leave the terminal window and check it again with

echo $PATH

It is no longer in there.

how can i get the absolute path of whatever directory a script and/or command is in when it is run?

i want to know the directory. say for instance, if i were to run the "who" command, i want to know exaclty where the who command is located.

if a user ran a script, i want to know where there script is located.

can this be done in a script?

shell: bash os: linux / sunos

Hi all. I have a problem My server is HP, and installed Sun OS 5.10 generic i86pc I have misstake with command "crle -l /opt/nms/lib", so default library path "/lib:/usr/libs" lose. Now, I can't restart system, message is: "Warning:init(1m) existed on fatal signal 9".

So, i boot into failsafe mode to create /var/ld/ld.config file.

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.

Hello All,

I'm trying to "verify" some user input.

Hello All,

I have a bash script and in it at some point I call an Expect Script that does some stuff and saves its output in a ".txt" file.
