Running .sh files from the command line

zulu1_hl · 10-30-2002, 10:11 PM

I have tried to run an application (Forte) from the command line "# runide.sh" but the bash returns command not recognized. The application will run, however, if you browse to the runide.sh from the browser.

I have given the file chmod 777 just to make sure all would have execute rights.

I am not sure what is preventing it from being executed from the command line.

Thanks for your help

does your $PATH contain the current directory '.'?

try

Quote:

# ./runide.sh

First of all, try to avoid chmod 777 !!!
Make it at least 755, this will work just as fine.

Execute the command by entering either:
prompt# sh runide.sh
or
prompt# ./runide.sh

You _have_ to use ./ because this file is not within your PATH.

Thanks all. Both tricks did the job :-)
