changing directories (i'm sure there is a simple solution for this)
I just want to exit my script in a new directory from a bash shell. Problem is that the script internally changes to the directory I want to move to, however when exits is still in the original directory. Does that make sense?
ie usage: goto null
changing from /usr/bin/xtra/test/test3/
will move to /usr/bin/null/test/test3/
#!/usr/bin/sh
#goto
current_directory=`pwd | cut -f 4 -d "/"`
new_directory=`pwd | sed s=$current_directory=$1=`
cd $new_directory
Help is appreciated. Thanks!
