UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

Okay, a more basic question will be hard to find, but I'm a first time Unix user and I can't get a script starting.
I'm the owner of te script, I can change te script but when I want to execute it, it can't be found????

$ ls -l gives:
-rwxr-x--x db_call_checkup

$ db_call_checkup gives:
ksh: db_call_checkup: not found

Content of cat db_call_checkup =
#!/bin/ksh
echo "bla"
exit

Can it be that I don't have any rights to execute scripts at all?

I think that the directory containing db_call_checkup is not specified in the list of paths in your profile

to execute it, type

./db_call_checkup

or you can add the path to your profile, or move the script to a path in your profile.

Yes, it worked !

I finally executed the script.

Thanks,
