Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting how ./example.sh differs from . /example.sh and ./ example.sh Post 302150411 by jim mcnamara on Tuesday 11th of December 2007 11:30:50 AM

The first one is correct if example.sh is in the current working directory.

The second one is correct if example.sh is in the root directory which is named /
AND you want to source the script (not run in a subshell) dot space scriptname:
Code:
.  myscript.sh

is called sourcing a script

The third one is completely wrong in anyway I can think of.
