Script wont call my other scripts

replica88 · 01-07-2010, 01:43 PM

I have 3 scripts that need to be run from the cd, I can run them separately but thought it would be easier to just call them from a single script.

When I run the script it just goes straight to reboot, which is the last command. Can you see what I am doing wrong? I am logged in as root when I execute it. Thanks

Code:

#!/bin/bash
clear
set +x

#calls script that installs the software packages
./cdrom/scripts/initialsetup.txt

#calls script that creates shared folders
./cdrom/scripts/makeshares.txt

#calls script that creates users
./cdrom/scripts/makeusers.txt

#unmounts cdrom
umount /cdrom

echo "Setup complete, issueing reboot command"

reboot

Guess it all depends on which directory you run this from as
you chose the RELATIVE PATH ./cdrom/scripts ...

yes, I see what you mean.

I ran the script from / with ./cdrom/scripts/master.txt next time I test it I will first cd to /cdrom/scripts and run it from there

Thanks
