Question

My script is:

/opt/Myapplication/bin/start.sh

I always have to start it this way:

$cd /opt/Myapplication
$bin/start.sh

Now I want to write a script, which will run start.sh as above. I mean, it should run it from /opt/Myapplication directory

Maybe like this:

#!/bin/bash

my_path=/opt/Myapplication
$my_path/bin/start.sh

Will it run start.sh from /opt/Myapplication directory?

Answer 1

it will run /opt/Myapplication/my_path/bin/start.sh, but it won’t change the working directory, if that’s what you mean. To do that, you’ll have to cd in the script first:

#!/bin/bash

my_path=/opt/Myapplication
cd $my_path
$my_path/bin/start.sh
