bash_snippet_codes

This is a system of snippet codes for bash programming

---

#Insert the snippet into your working code If you want to insert a file into another file in Emacs, type:

M-x: insert-file the_file_I_want

---

#Basic preliminary things:

---

#! /bin/bash -x

chmod +x test.sh

Now check with ls -l if the file is executable (it must have a x)

---

#Location independent execution

---

test.sh is executed via "bash -x" (-x is useful in debugging)

echo $PATH is the list of directories in which executables file are searched by default

if you want to add another directory (for example you bin directory)

export PATH=$PATH:~gfasanel/bin

This change will last till you close the shell, to make it permanent:

echo 'export PATH=$PATH:~gfasanel/bin' >> ~/.bash_profile

At this point wherever you type test.sh, it will look inside the PATH directories. If a test.sh is present there, it will execute them

In case of 2 different test.sh => /path/test.sh
