Hi all.
I have a little strange problem. I created a file called 'test.sh' in the root directory containing: #!/bin/sh echo test
When I execute it with '/test.sh' there is no output. When I source it by executing it with '. /test.sh' the output comes ok. When I move it to '/root' and execute it with '/root/test.sh' then it works perfectly. When I move it to '/home' and execute it with '/home/test.sh' there is no output.
Could someone tell me what I shoud do to make the script run without sourcing it with '.' ? This problem happens only on one CentOS 4 box I have, on the others it works perfectly. What am I doing wrong ? The permissions are 755 on the file itself, and I execute them logged as root.
Thanks, Daniel
Dan,
I can't duplicate your issue ... test.sh prints test on my xterm console every time.
It works whether I use echo test or echo "test" ... and works with #!/bin/sh or #!/bin/bash ... on my CentOS-4 i386 machine.
It also worked for both root and a non-root user.
