executing scripts 1

[teser]

How can I get my scripts in root to run by just typing in the name.

It works with just the name on my regular user log in.

But when I log in as root I have to do this:

./scriptname

where as any script I run in my user log in I just type:

scriptname


My profile is in .cshrc

Any suggestions?

It's usual (for security reasons) for root to NOT have "." in it's path.

You could add it, but this is a BAD THING (tm) and leaves you open to accidental or deliberate abuse!

ensure that the path of the scripts is in your PATH env.

For your case do the following
setenv PATH .:$PATH

After this, the scripts will execute just by the name. If you are very sure, you could add this to your .cshrc file

Thanks mohand1.

an easier way will be to create a soft link in /usr/bin directory for ur script Thief................
