how to run .sh directly without cd to the parent directory?

wch705 · 11-08-2011, 12:31 AM

hi all,
I know if i want to run a a.sh file under tmp, that is (/tmp/a.sh), i enter

Code:

$: cd /tmp
$: ./a.sh

but how can i run it without cd to tmp folder like

Quote:

$:./tmp/a.sh

apparently, the above code is not working at all?
thanks for helping

Its not working because you left the dot in there.

"." means current directory.

Code:

/tmp/a.sh

assuming the file is chmod +x

files in the temporary folder should NOT be able to be executed

the tmp is a kind of cesspool, you really do not want to execute files that are dropped in there .
By default that folder should not allow a normal user to execute files and run a script from there .

thanks for answering.
the /tmp/a.sh is just an example and sorry for making such a bad example.

actually i am trying to run the following

Code:

~$ ~/ofbiz/startofbiz.sh 
Unable to access jarfile ofbiz.jar

ofbiz is an ERP partly written by java
, what is happening?

If i cd to /ofbiz, and run ./startofbiz.sh it works.

you need to specify the full path for the *.jar file as well from with in the script, I imagine.

Can you cat the content of startofbiz.sh
You can modify it.

you will need to add the full path to "ofbiz.jar"
it looks like it will be in /var/log

but that this script will also need to also be /var/log

Change any paths to use full paths, rather than relative.
Or use a variable to contain the path, for more portability.

Code:

exec "$JAVA" $VMARGS -jar ~/ofbiz/ofbiz.jar "$@"

(assuming that is where ofbiz.jar is located of course)
