Shell Programming and Scripting

This is good if you want to execute it:

Code:

pi@pi:~ $ chmod +x raspi-config.test

However, this will not work because by default the shell doesn't look into the current directory to find the script, unless that the current directory is part of the $PATH.

Code:

pi@pi:~ $ raspi-config.test
-bash: raspi-config.test: command not found

If raspi-config.test contains a shebang run it as

Code:

./raspi-config.test

or the full path if it doesn't have a shebang.

Code:

~/raspi-config.test

You can also run it issuing the shell you want to run it with at the current directory.

Code:

bash raspi-config.test

Many thanks,
very clear explanation on how to retrieve and copy the tagged code block.

Appreciate that.

Sorry for additional post.


There is a code in original scrip which checks for "path" and will post a message to that effect and exit if script is NOT run from root.

That tells me indirectly then I am executing the script, that's good.

But when I add "sudo" I get same no response as before.

That tells me that the check for "root" is what causing the no response - that's also good.


Now I know where the issue is and can hopefully fix it without further assistance from forum.



Thanks for all the support I had received, appreciate it.



Perhaps next time things will be different since I now know this is just another typical "we/us" forum where form / format is more important than customer's issue.



Cheers

Debug add TEST Script must be run as root. Try 'sudo raspi-config'      GOOD
