Untested, and it depends very much on your shell, but create a function

cdr() { cd $1 || exit if [ -x ./.myscript ] then ./.myscript fi }

Now if you use "cdr" (for Change Directory & Run) it should do what you want (runs a file called ".myscript" in the new directory if it exists)

This _might_ work...

cd() { command cd $1 || exit if [ -x ./.myscript ] then ./.myscript fi }

OK, I just tested the later under ksh88 and it worked. You'd need to test with bash/ksh93/whatever-your-shell-is

$ cat x1/.myscript echo hello $ cd x1 hello $ mkdir x0 $ cd x0 $ cd .. hello $

As you can see, everytime I enter the "x1" directory it runs .myscript

Thank You. I usually run in the CentOS default (bash) shell. I will give this a try and report back.

Many thanks,
