Have you make your script executable with chmod?
Have you start your script with /directory/scriptname or ./scriptname?

Regards

sorry i couldnt get u :confused:

well i guess u created a script by using cat or the vi editor ..after that u need to change the permission of the script using chmod 777 filename ..since its a script u need to make it a executable ..after that u could run the script sh filename.sh ...or simply ./filename..both will work ..i guess this was what the previous person was trying to explain

and he was trying to explain that have u created the script in the correct directory? or are u giving the whole path while running the script.

PS. correct me if i am wrong . :slight_smile:

Also if you donn wan to use it like "./filename" then you need to put your script file in $HOME/bin ... if it exists and included in $PATH, or else create bin in $HOME or anywhere u like and also .. export the same to the $PATH.
eg. export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin
then use it as "filename".

You need to copy your scripts file to $HOME/bin

Hi all,

Thanks for ur replies. Actually i have a script already in place. Instead of downloading it and modifying it, i have created a script file in the same name and uploaded it. So that i got this problem. Now got a solution by downloading the old file. then making chang in that and then uploading it. May be i would have had some rights problem before. :slight_smile:
Thank u again for ur kind replies.
