running .sh scripts?

[cibressus]

i downloaded a .sh file/script.

how do i run it?

[bsh152s]

1. Open up a terminal
2. Change to directory where script is located (cd path/to/your/dir)
3. Make sure you have executable permissions (chmod u+x yourscript.sh)
4. run script (./yourscript.sh)

I can't do it. I get this. i know i'm being realy dumb right now, but i'm a real noob at this.

[cibressus@localhost cibressus]$ dir
check.sh Desktop evolution modules.php ut2004
[cibressus@localhost cibressus]$ chmod u+x check.sh
[cibressus@localhost cibressus]$ run script(check.sh)
bash: syntax error near unexpected token `('
[cibressus@localhost cibressus]$ run check.sh
run: unable to exec
[cibressus@localhost cibressus]$

You're taking the "run script" part literally. :) It should be:

./check.sh

man, that was pretty cool, it's like a bat file on crack.

lmao!


that's great... err, yes bash scripting is very powerful, more so than batch as far as i've read. Kind of hard, but once you get very good with the console its a miracal to script large operations. Good stuff (i'm learning much myself still btw)

other way of running it like

sh check.sh

Well, actually, it is that way. Just your script is your command! :p

And yes, bash scripting is really awesome. Just like 3/4 of everything else in Linux. (the other 1/4 is the really... frustrating stuff that's not fun to play with.....)

[DSwain]

hmm, interesting way to put it. i like it, except slightly different:

Break down any Linux thing into fourth's. The first fourth, is learning and fighting. very frustrating and irritating. After that though, the rest is fun, and you realise how worth it it was to deal with the first quater. Kind of like this is my...5th Stage1 gentoo install and i think i got it this time. I already notice speed differences, and i'm not even done installing! very satisfying
