exec script error
Hi, Gurus,
my script code as following:
Code:
#!/usr/bin/sh
mkdir dir1
result=`echo $?`
if [ $result -eq 0 ]; then
echo "completed"
else
echo "wrong"
fi

When I execute it with command
Code:
sh filename.

, it executed successfully.
but, when I execute it with command
Code:
. filename

it throw out error:
Code:
-bash:ELF    : command not found

my env:
Code:
echo $SHELL
/bin/bash

can you try . ./filename ?
This is just explicitly specifying file in the current directory...
