I have created a simple script:
echo "the path of the current directory is `pwd`"
and saved it by the name pathinfo
then i have created a bin directory at my home page with path as
/home/vpnsadmin/bin
and copied my script(pathinfo) to that bin directory.
Now i want run this script as a command but it is showing error
-bash: /usr/bin/test2: No such file or directory
but if copy my script(pathinfo) to "/usr/bin/" then it runs as a command.
the PATH environment variable is set as-
PATH=/usr/kerberos/sbin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/home/vpnsadmin/bin
My question is why does the shell not run it as a command when it is present in /home/vpnsadmin/bin
.
or else
why does it only check for the binary at /usr/bin
and not at /home/vpnsadmin/bin
or at /bin
