PWD command minus the current dir? 1

[bgreen]

Hi all,

I want the ability to list the current path minus the current dir. Is there a way? I want this the ability to use this in several different directories.

pwd gives you the path to the current dir:
ex.
pwd
/u6/oracle/prodappl/test_int/1.0.0/bin

I want
/u6/oracle/prodappl/test_int/1.0.0

Help please.

Try dirname `pwd`

Hope This Help, PH.
