Quote:
you have a script called "test.sh" in your path... this script expects an argument...
My code is so basic as it is exactly as below called test.sh
#!/bin/bash
if [ -e /etc/passwd ]
then
echo thennnn
else
echo elseeee
fi
I run it by calling sh test.sh or sh -x test.sh. What is the argument that this script expects as you said?
Thank you
