Hi

I simply want to make a script for a executable file for which i have to go in many directories to execute.

this is what i do:-

cd /ww1/version15/Application/bin

when i go in above directory i then type in following executable command

./start

this opens up my application..

Instead of doing all that i want to create a script when i run should launch my application...any help would be appreciated..

many thanks
regards
Kay

/ww1/version15/Application/bin/start
probably works - or - you can create a script containing two lines:
cd into your dir
start your app
as it was described in your initial post

You wrote that you need to run the command in many directories. Could you give us some more details, like how many directories you need to process, and how the directories will be selected? If you want to do all the directories automatically, the find command may be useful.

It sounds like the OP wants the /ww1/version15/Application/bin/start executable from every directory.

To do this, you can either add /ww1/version15/Application/bin/ to your PATH envar (not preferrable) or you can simply add the desired file to one of the PATH directories.

Should give you something like this:

/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games

You can add a symlink to your program to one of those paths. Ideally it would be in '/opt/bin/', but you can start off by adding it to some other path which is already in the PATH variable:
This will make a symbolic link in named 'ww1' which when opened will point to the file in its original location.
BTW if it isn't a WWI game then you might not want it in a games/ folder, so change the '/usr/local/games/' directory to something else.
