Question

sorry for my English.
I write bash-file, that uses variable: shared_var=/system/xbin

My script-file:

exec="./adb shell chmod 644 $shared_var/$2"
echo $exec
$exec

Let’s run this script:

>bash gapp.sh misc su
./adb shell chmod 644 /system/xbin/su
: No such file or directory n/su

Let’s run string “./adb shell chmod 644 /system/xbin/su” without script:

> ./adb shell chmod 644 /system/xbin/su
(No output, OK)

I have few questions:

1. Why are script and direct input in terminal have different results?
2. Why instead of “No such file or directory /system/xbin/su” adb returns “No soch file or directoryn/su” (adb result looks distorted)
3. What is solution of my problem?

Answer 1

does it work, if your shell script only has

echo ./adb shell chmod 644 $shared_var/$2
./adb shell chmod 644 $shared_var/$2

ie, not assigning it to another variable, and no quoted strings

Also, if you are editing the file in Windows, make sure you save the file with Unix linefeeds.
