A question about the /usr/local/bin/

thomas2004ch · 07-03-2013, 08:07 AM

I put a script test.sh under /usr/local/bin/.

Then I loggin as a normal user. As I try to run this script with

Code:

test.sh

I got error test.sh: command not found

In RHEL it works.

What could be the problem?

Did you make it executable? Check with "ls -al /usr/local/bin/test.sh". If it's not executable, make it so with "chmod +x /usr/local/bin/test.sh".

Is /usr/local/bin in your path? Check with "echo $PATH".

You're getting this error because /usr/local/bin/ is possibly not available in your PATH variable. Just check it using:

Code:

~$ echo $PATH

If it's not listed, then add it to the PATH, using cmd:

Code:

~$ export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin/

or run by full path. or when in the directory with ./test.sh. ./ for the working directory.
