Dear Friends ,

Suppose I make a script name "test" in "tmp" Directory . Now when I want to run this script then I run it in the following way :

"sh /mnt/test"

But i want to run this script like the following way :

"service test restart"
OR,
I want a situation where I can run my script from any place , not to mention the full path like(root~# sh test). Is it possible to do ?

If yes then plz tell me how can I do it ?Wating for your reply ....

Thx...........

You need to move the file to a directory listed in the PATH variable (try 'echo $PATH'), generally /usr/bin.

Or add the directory to PATH
Or make a link to the file--put the link in a directory that is in PATH
