Launching shell scripts from different dirs

Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi,

General question, if I have a shell script whcih I launch from anywhere on the system vis the PATH env var, how can I get the script to echo where I launch this from?

i.e. /my/home/script/myscript

BUT

I launch this from /my/otherarea/somewherelse via the env variable. I would like to echo where I actually am and not where my script is stored. I have tried pwd but this only gives me where the sscript is stored??

Thanks

Hi.

You can use the pwd command, or the $PWD variable to see where you are when you launch the script.
