shell type

morfeus80 · 03-10-2008, 03:14 AM

Hallo,
I'm trying to execute a file sh, but I have a problem because when I type in my shell
sh nome.sh
I have an error message because it can't find the 'setenv' command.
I looked in a forum and I have found that it happens because I'm using a bash shell, instead my sh file is for a csh shell.
So, how can I execute that file?

By running it like "sh nome.sh" you are explicitly saying to run the script using bash in sh compatibility mode. Instead either use "csh nome.sh" or use "./nome.sh" and rely on the slash-bang line to change the shell used.

While the extension isn't important in Linux, using sh is confusing. Change the extension to .csh. Look in /etc/profile.d; you may find a number of .sh and .csh files. The .sh files are bash scripts while the .csh files are csh scripts.

Do you have csh installed? which csh
Then try csh /path/to/nome.sh

Thanks,

I've installed the csh shell, but now I've this error:

ANSA CAE software??
To make a './' command you will have to 'cd' into that directory.
There is a reference to a '${ANSA_EXEC_DIR}bin/ansa_linux$...' command in chapter 15

I am not an expert so I don't know what you mean when you say:

Can you explain, please?

quote from tutorial 1:
'The current directory (.)
In UNIX, (.) means the current directory, so typing
% cd .
[NOTE: there is a space between cd and the dot]
means stay where you are (the unixstuff directory).'
More questions? Please inform which application you are using.

I think that SuSE has the csh shell already installed. If not, install it from the package manager.

Try the "chsh" command to change your current shell. (see "man chsh")
Also, did you look at the first line in the script you are trying to run? That will verify whether the script used the chsh.
