Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi,

I am getting following error while running script:

tar: can't change directories to /home/xyz/script: No such file or directory
tar: compress: No such file or directory
tar: getts.tar same as archive file

Following is my script:

#!/bin/bash

echo "You want:"
echo "1. zip files."
echo "2. remove files."
echo -n "Enter your option:"
read opt

echo -n "Enter full File path:"
read PATH
echo -n "Enter File name:"
read FILE

if [ $opt -eq 1 ]
then
#zip files

/usr/bin/tar -cvf $FILE.tar $PATH compress $FILE.tar

fi


Can some one give some solution.

thanks

read PATH

Gack!! Don't do that! PATH is a special variable that tells the shell where to find commands. Use some other name.
