Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi Folks

am in /home/coolboy/ directory

Code:

$cat test.sh
hi test

$cat hello.sh
./home/coolboy/test.sh
echo hello

when am executing hello.sh as ./hello.sh then it is giving the below error

No such file or directory

Please help me on this

where is hello.sh? I mean the directory! Absolute path would be better to run the script!

It is on the same directory

You are apparently trying to execute /home/coolboy/home/coolboy/test.sh and the shell is saying that it can't find that file.

If you had said:

Code:

. /home/coolboy/test.sh

instead of:

Code:

./home/coolboy/test.sh

it would probably have found the file and probably would have said that it can't find the command named hi. You haven't said that you made these scripts executable and you didn't include anything in the file to specify what program should be used to run the commands found in those files. You also didn't say what shell you're using nor what type of system you're using. Therefore, all of this is just an educated guess at what might be going on.
