[SOLVED] executing shell scripts

[Guest]

Hi,

I am running 9.10

If I try to run a shell script (bash) in the current directory as root, I have to put the sh command before the script, for example:

sh example.sh

It will not run with solely typing:

./example.sh

any help is greatly appreciated!

Re: executing shell scripts

Check to make sure that the script has execute permissions
If not then set it

chmod u+x ./example.sh

Then ./example.sh should work

Also, make sure that the first line of the script has a comment describing which shell is to be used to execute it -- for example

#!/bin/bash
