Hello,

I met another script problem:-) In script, I want "cd" execute as #cd <> does.

Demo script test:

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
#!/bin/sh

cd /home/test
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

[root@agent ~]# chmod +x test
[root@agent ~]# ./test
[root@agent ~]#

How to make it execute as the result of "cd /home/test" ?

Thanks in advance,

cdcshu

Hi,

I don't think you can do that.

If you run a script, this script is executed in a new subshell. All that is done inside this subshell (cd /home/test for example) is 'lost' once the script stops and control is returned to the shell that you started the script from.

If you want something done in your current shell, you could make an alias or a function (both are explained in the bash manpage).

To give you an idea: alias cdt='cd /home/test' will create an alias that is called cdt. You can use this alias to cd to /home/test.

BTW: Do not use test as name for your script/program. There's a;ready a program called test present and one could get confused.

Hope this helps.
