I have a command called

cd $HDRROOT/release/tools/cfg

My query is what it means?

tHat is.... $HDRROOT part is not clear.

If I put this command it says path not found....

I doubt that $HDRROOT is trying to mean smething I am not clear of.

PL help.........

"$HDRROOT" looks like an environment setting that is set a directory path...

What do you get back if you type "echo $HDRROOT " ??

You have mail.

TERM is set to "vt100".
WARNING: YOU ARE SUPERUSER !!
ap11:root > echo $HDRROOT

ap11:root >

=====================

The envioronment setting... can any one pl elaborate a little on it..

I think that holds the key

To work the $HDRROOT env setting would have to be set up as a directory path up to "/release/tools/cfg"...

Then when you run the command, whatever is being stored in $HDRROOT would be substituted into the command.

Do you know what the full path name is to ../release/tools/cfg ??
