Question

HI there!

I’ve run into some problem while learning to combine .sh files and PHP. I’ve create a file test.sh and in that file I call a PHP file called test.php.

If I double click on the .sh file then it runs perfectly but when I try to run it from the terminal I get “command not found”. I’m in the exact folder as my .sh file but it wont work. Here’s my test.sh:

#!/bin/bash
LIB=${0/%cli/}
exec php -q ${LIB}test.php one two three
exit; 

When I doubleclick on the test.sh file then it returns the argv array like it suppost to. But why can’t I run it from terminal?

Answer 1

use ./filename.sh

no matter if your are in the same folder or not, without giving ./ the system is searching the path variable. (/bin/, /usr/bin and so on)
