I have a trivial bash script named test.sh which has been marked as
executable.
Its contents are:
#!/bin/bash
cat /etc/debian_version

In a terminal I type:
test.sh
The response is:
bash: test.sh: command not found
I'm using Squeeze with Gnome2 as DE.
What's wrong?
TIA
Is it in your $PATH? (i.e in ~/bin, if that is added to your path, or in
/usr/local/bin, or /usr/bin, etc. I put all my bash (or tcl or python or
ruby or perl)scripts in /home/me/bin, which I have added to my $PATH
If the script is not in your path, you will have to cd to the directory
it is in and do
$ ./test.sh
with that ./
I think you got that answer already,
but, as a side note (just a thought):
you could make this a one-liner, and even make an alias for it in your
.bashrc,
like
# frp for find root partition
alias frp = cat /etc/debian_version && mount | grep 'on / '
Then you could simply type frp and get the info you want.
close your terminal and start a new one to use the alias once it's added
to the .bashrc file, of course)
