Making zsh see my scripts
 

Hello everyone,

I am using Ubuntu (9.04) and recently installed the Zed shell 'zsh'.
I am planning to explore it a bit before setting it as my default shell.
I did go through the configuration steps at the start when I first invoked
'zsh'.

In 'bash' I can use a series of customized search scripts which I keep in a subdirectory in my home directory say /home/thisuser/scripts.

This has been added to the $PATH and in 'bash' I can see the utilities contained in there and use them.

When I invoke 'zsh' from 'bash', 'zsh' can't see my '~/scripts' directory and its contents even though you can type

echo $PATH

and you'll see the :~/scripts: components in the path.

I know I'm doing something wrong..but what?

Is your ZSH scripts set as executable? Try the chmod command. chmod 640 or chmod 700 on the script your trying to access.

Positive.

They are all -rwxrwxr-x and are all kept under '~/scripts'

However your suggestion caused me to do something else:

I changed '~' to '/home/<user>/' and bada-bing...it works!

I think that it might vaguely have to do with differences
between 'zsh' and 'bash'.
