whats the command to execute bash scripts u write

./scriptname

first you need to set it's permissions to executable

chmod +x scriptname


david@slacker:~/test$ ls -l
total 4
-rw-r--r-- 1 david users 11 Jul 13 23:45 test
david@slacker:~/test$ chmod +x test
david@slacker:~/test$ ls -l
total 4
-rwxr-xr-x 1 david users 11 Jul 13 23:45 test*


or set only for owner and group

david@slacker:~/test$ chmod 750 test
david@slacker:~/test$ ls -l test
-rwxr-x--- 1 david users 11 Jul 13 23:45 test*

or owner only

david@slacker:~/test$ chmod 700 test
david@slacker:~/test$ ls -l test
-rwx------ 1 david users 11 Jul 13 23:45 test*



./test

If you write a script ypu have to make it executable:

chmod +x script_name

you could do it like this

sh ./scriptname

sh! thank you now i remember lol that was the command.... o well this new way is better

David, your slack box is also called slacker ! My main box at work is called that.

It seemed like a proper name for it.

Not sure why that is though, my redhat box is not called redhater or anything, but slacker seems cool. I guess it comes natural.

I have slack on my laptop now too. I am considering trying RedHat 9. I really need to catch up on the movement the RedHat is making. Things seem to be changing toward the desktop user.

I guess I can get by with only one slack box.
