I admit to feeling _really_ dumb asking this. After working through ppp, XWindows config, a kernel re-compile and some other stuff with no or minimal help, I can't figure out why I can't make a script executable. I use vi to create a script in a given directory, save it, chmod 755 to set permissions, I haven't changed directories, I ls -l to double-check and then type in the name of the script. I get "command not found". I've tried sh, csh and bash. I've tried different users and root. I've tried man sh, man csh, etc. I keep getting the feeling there's something just beyond my fingertips. The last time I did this was in a class about a year ago using zsh on AIX. Write the script, set the permissions and go. Please tell me what I've missed. Thanks. ---------------------------------- E-Mail: Chris Browning <brownicm@netunlimited.net> Date: 02-Jan-99 Time: 13:54:59 This message was sent by XFMail ---------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
