a shell script edited, so all users can use it without having to type the whole path
 

I am working on a project, and I need to have a shell script edited, so all users can use it without having to type the whole path -- just the script name.
I think i have to put the PATH in the script ,but am lost as to how.
Any Info will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Nothing you can do inside the script will accomplish this. You need to find (or make) someplace which is in all users' paths, and put the script there. /usr/local/bin is commonly used for this purpose.

shell scripts for everyone
 

you may have to give file ownership to a the group user. its a guess
send me a email wwe can talk

Make the script where ever you want to, then in the users .bashrc or whatever file it is for aliases in shell, add in an alias. Works for me :)

/etc/profile would be a good place to put it.

Thanks everone.
What i did was copy the file into root/bin and it worked.

cp /home/Happy/bin/file /bin
(from root)
Thanks again
