running a .sh as a bin
 

hi i downloaded limewire pro and it works fine but to run it i have to enter the directory and run ./runLime.sh i was wondering is there a way to add it to /usr/bin so i can run it by simply typing limewire in the terminal?

You could use ln (man ln) to make a symbolic link from one of your path locations to the executable with the name you want.

You make the simlink in /usr/bin. (/usr/local/bin is the "proper" place for this)

ln -s pathtolimewire/runLime.sh /usr/bin/

ln will automatically create the symbolic link file.

Its syntax (for sym links) is: ln -s src dest

Go to the directory in which runLime.sh is present and try this:
