Re: My bash script is missing something - what?

1. You have to be in the directory where the script resides.

2. Then:

chmod +x test.sh

3. Then:

./test.sh

That just fails differently by responding:

: No such file or directory

I had seen that suggestion before while searching the web - don't recall a page reference. At the moment I using http://tldp.org/LDP/Bash-Beginners-Guide/html/sect_02_01.html as my reference.

    What's wrong?
