Shell Script cd Issue Fedora

[jblaha]

All,

I have a simple shell script with the following line inside.

cd /home/jblaha/log_files/files2_process

I get this error message:

: No such file or directorysh: line 5: cd: /home/jblaha/log_files/files2_process

If I go to my shell promt and type in the line it works just fine. I just migrated to Fedora Core 1 from RH9 now all my scripts seem to be bugging out on me. Any ideas here?

Regards,

All,

I think I got this one figured out! The problem was there was nothing in the directory.

What would the proper script be to check a directory and if there are files in it remove them all?

whats up jimmy? FEDORA all the way! things are running smooth. funny, i found this post while i was searching for fedora threads. by the way, have you upgraded your linux kernel to 2.4.3? i heard there is a root exploit with all previous versions. i haven't upgraded tho. don't know much about upgrading. if you know how to, help me out one of these days. talk to you later!

peace,
eric

Hi Eric,

Log into the desktop as the root account and run the Up2Date feature. It’s the icon by the clock. For the most part it’s like an M$ update. Email me directly is you have any problems.
