Output is as follows.

Code:
$ ksh ls_checking.ksh /home/user/bin/singh_testing/awk_programming
11_char_example 1stfile 200005051111 2nd 3rdfile E_to_e.ksh without_length_70_lines



Here is the example while running script you should give the Date's abosolute path where Dat is present. Try the same and let me know please.



Thanks,

it's the same result:
Code:
Admin@L-IT-03404 ~
$ pwd
/home/Admin

Admin@L-IT-03404 ~
$ ./bashScriptTest.sh /home/Admin/data
: No such file or directory: cd: /home/Admin/data
bashScriptTest.sh data test.txt

Admin@L-IT-03404 ~

Ahhhh.... got it, you should give as follows.


Code:
./bashScriptTest.sh /home/Admin


As simple as that there is no data directory presnet in /home/Admin so that only we are not able to run it. In case you want to see that data file content then you should make appropriate changes to it.



Thanks,

in Admin there is a data directory, The Admin content is in my previuos post.

The problem is that if I write the same command of the script directly in the shell, this commands works.
So if in the shell I wrote:
cd data
ls
The result is correct.
Instead running the script it does't change the directory and list the file in the current directory
