UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

Hi !!

I'm in a new system, trying to run some old scripts tcl I have.

Tcl is installed (see below), and the OS is linux (see below env).

All my scripts tcl begin with:

#!/bin/sh
# the next line restarts using tclsh \
exec tclsh "$0" "$@" 1

But they don't want to run...

Can anybody give me a clue about what's going on?

Thanks!

Pablo

(I know that TCL is installed cause from the root I did a "find . -name '*tcl*' " and I got several directories, with several versions of tcl.... linux2.2 / linux2.4 / etc)

(here after is a result from an "env" in my station...)

But what's the output of "which tclsh"?

the output is:

/usr/bin/tclsh


but I think that in this system, we (regular users) can't execute an script directly (just writing the name of the file and intro).... The same thing is happening with all scripts....

so i'm doing as follow in order to run my scripts:

> tcl filewithscript.tcl

or

> wish filewithscript.tcl

And is running.....

Anyway, thank you for your answer!!!

Have a nice day,

Pablo.
