Terminal commands

[dhokes]

I'm trying to learn to write shell scripts and use the Terminal.

In Users/user/Development/linux I've got a script called sysinfo_page.

So I'm in the linux folder in the terminal and I can see the sysinfo_page when I type the ls command.

However, when I enter the following command:
sysinfo_page > sysinfo_page.html

I receive the following message:
-bash: sysinfo_page: command not found

How do I resolve this?

Did you set the permissions to exectuable? I usually need to execute a script by the following convention ./sysinfo_page > sysinfo_page.html

If I type the following command, I receive a Permission denied message.

I think I need to add the directory to the PATH? But I'm unsure why/how to do it?

do a ls -al in the directory that holds your scripts and paste the results.

I managed to do what I wanted by:

chmod +x sysinfo_page
./sysinfo_page > sysinfo_page.html

Eh? What's a "linux" folder doing in OS X?

chmod +x sysinfo_page
./sysinfo_page > sysinfo_page.html

That's why I asked about execution permissions 😉

Glad you sorted it out
