Code:
$ cat spt echo $0 current_dir=`cd \`/usr/bin/dirname $0\` && pwd` echo "current_dir="$current_dir $ /db2home/training/anbu/spt /db2home/training/anbu/spt current_dir=/db2home/training/anbu pwd assign the directory to current_dir where script resides. Instead of above code you can use this Code:
current_dir=`/usr/bin/dirname $0` Last edited by anbu23; 03-27-2007 at 12:04 AM.

cd \`/usr/bin/dirname $0\` just change directory
In the following code this cd is done within `..` which will open new shell and change directory. So if you come out this line you will be in the same directory as before executing this line. Code:
current_dir=`cd \`/usr/bin/dirname $0\` && pwd`
