reference dir ../common in script

I'm trying to check for a directory and create it if it doesn't exist as follows: CommonDir="../common" if [ -d ${CommonDir} ]; then mkdir "${CommonDir}" fi It works from the command line, but my script doesn't seem to like it and I can't figure it out. Thanks for any help, Duane -- View th

Sorry, Bob, it's my bad. ${HOME} in my previous posts were not described consistently. Actually my $HOME on my office server is "/cis/home/tingli". "'/cis/home/tingli/bin/bash-3.2.48/bin/bin/bash'" is actually where my new bash executable lies in the server (the double bins were left from my sill

manually pipe processes

Hi, I want to effect this pipeline: tar cf - /etc | tar xf - | tee /tmp/outfile manually. It seems that some form of file descriptor manipulation (i.e. moving, duplication, etc.) should be able to achieve this, but I can't seem to figure it out. Why would I want to do this? Because I want (sp

"cannot execute binary file"

Hi, Lately I am trying to install a higher version of emacs under my ${HOME} on my office server. I add the new emacs path into PATH. It works quite well when I ssh to the server, but encounters this "/home/emacs/bin/emacs: cannot execute binary file" error when I am working on my office computer
