This is the script:
Code:
#!/usr/bin/env bash
cd $1
dates=`ls`
echo $dates

The directory where I call the script is: /home/Admin

I call the scrpt passing: data.

So I expect that my script change directory to the inner directory data and that list le files

Hello,


Code:
drwxr-xr-x+ 1 Admin None 0 24 lug 11.19 data

The plus sign is an indication of ACL (access control list) which is an extension to the normal POSIX permissions system which increases security by allowing the system more fine-tuning to a access for a file/folder in system. The ACL's can be implemented using setfacl command, we will see about ACL in our coming posts. Please tune in for more stuff on this Permissions.

So it may not be giving you permissions to check contents. Please check your script for other paths it should work fine.




Thanks,
R. Singh

I suspect you have DOS newline characters in your script which is causing it to behave incorrectly. Can you give the output of:
Code:
cat -vet bashScriptTest.sh
