Hi,
I need to know how I'll be able to write a script that can goto a different dir where I don't have access to read,write and execute and also to run a commandline prompt in that dir with one file whose path has to be specified in that command.

Will I be able to do this?

Any ideas or solutions are welcome.

some of us call this "hacking"............you need to learn how to do this on your own............

Thanks.
Can I have a real answer?
Please.

Alright ,I understand.

Consider I've the rights to access the dir,If so what can be done?

Thanks

I'm not fully understanding what you're asking.

If you've got the rights to enter a directory, you don't need a script to change directories, you type cd <directory>. Now if you don't have the rights, you would probably su and change permissions.

Interesting side note, I don't think scripts ever actually move you. I can have a script that moves all around the place installing stuff for me (which is actually how I install a lot of programs) and when I'm done, *I* haven't moved anywhere. Or if I have, it returns me to whatever directory I started in, so effectively I don't move.

Out of curiosity, what's the purpose of what you want to do? Unless you've got an inept admin, you probably have no need to do anything beyond the scope of your permissions. Anyway, if you absolutely have to get to the files, you can load a Knoppix.

My say on hacking, in tradition of the previous posters: 1) Do nothing malicious. That makes it harder for the community to gain any respect in the eyes of the nontechnical world, and hacker becomes a bad word. 2) If you're out to learn a lot, I would suggest reading manuals like crazy and understand what's going on.

Anyway, class time. Later.
