2.1. Invoking the script
Having written the script, you can invoke it by sh
scriptname
,
[1]
or alternatively bash scriptname
. (Not
recommended is using sh <scriptname
,
since this effectively disables reading from
stdin
within the script.) Much more convenient is to make
the script itself directly executable with a chmod.
- Either:
chmod 555 scriptname
(gives everyone read/execute permission) [2]- or
chmod +rx scriptname
(gives everyone read/execute permission)chmod u+rx scriptname
(gives only the script owner read/execute permission)
Having made the script executable, you may now test it by
./scriptname
.
[3]
If it begins with a "sha-bang" line, invoking the
script calls the correct command interpreter to run it.
As a final step, after testing and debugging,
you would likely want to move it to /usr/local/bin
(as
root, of course), to make the script
available to yourself and all other users as a systemwide
executable. The script could then be invoked by simply typing
scriptname [ENTER] from the
command-line.
