Re: Can't get scripts to work
by default, the current working directory (CWD) is not in your $PATH
so append a ./ to the command, so in this case ./removeCiv.sh
or you can modify your path, in /etc/profile (for bash and compadible
shells) add
export PATH=$PATH:.
although it is somewhat of a security risk to have . in your path. depends
how important security is to you
