Run a sh script
Solved
Hello.
Having been on Linux for a short while, I'm trying to create small bash scripts. However, I don't know how to execute them. Is there a specific command to run the script from a console?
Thank you in advance.

ModeratorHello,
- either you specify the path to the command interpreter on the first line of your script
johand@horus:~/src/bash$ cat hello.sh #!/bin/sh echo ${USER}
you mark it as executable:johand@horus:~/src/bash$ chmod 744 hello.sh johand@horus:~/src/bash$ ./hello.sh johand
- or you run it directly with sh or bash (under Linux, sh is usually a link to bash)
sh hello.sh bash hello.sh
Attention
Sourcing the file runs the execution IN THE CURRENT SHELL.
If there is an exit instruction, for example, you are ejected from the current shell.
