Script not executing

Hello,

I wasn't sure where to post this so I posted it here. I've used UNIX quite a bit, LINUX not so much. For some reason, my LINUX script will not execute if I type in the script name and press enter. I'm in the directory where the script is.

test.sh

However, when I use ". ./" it executes fine. I was wondering why this is and what I need to do to have it execute at the command prompt without the ". ./".

. ./test.sh

This is part of a bigger question and issue I'm having which I'm not looking to resolve here. I'm trying to install Informatica 9.1 onto a LINUX RedHat platform. The install script wouldn't run when I typed in install.sh. When I ran it with ". ./install.sh a number of error messages popped up and the install hung. I'm working with Informatica Support on this.

Regards, Jim

NAME
script-email - Amanda script to send email notifications DESCRIPTION
script-email is an Amanda script implementing the Script API. It should not be run by users directly. It sends a notification email to the addresses specified in the MAILTO property. PROPERTIES
This section lists the properties that control script-email's functionality. See amanda-scripts(7) for information on the Script API, script configuration. MAILTO List of email addresses that will receive an email on command execution. It is a multi-valued property: property "MAILTO" "amanda@domain.com" "sysadmin@domain.com" "amandauser@domain.com" EXAMPLE
In this example, script-email is scheduled to be run before the DLE, on the server. The unqualified email address amanda will be passed to the email system unchanged. The script is then attached to a dumptype, which can then be specified for any DLEs which require notification. define script-tool pre-email { comment "email me before this DLE is backed up" plugin "script-email" execute-on pre-dle-backup execute-where server property "mailto" "amanda" } define dumptype user-tar-email { user-tar script "pre-email" } SEE ALSO
