<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>First of all I am a total noob to Linux just
switched over about 2 days ago. there was a time in windows and dos that
you could make a simple bat to automate things, move files, rename files, so
forth and so on. Well I am trying to create a simple bat file in Linux and I
cant get it to work. I am working in a Shell only environment no
GUI. There was a previous post on this board about it I did what it said
and it didn't work. here is what I pretty much did</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Jed marktest.bat</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>(typed into file) mkdir
/var/www/docs/hobohound.org</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>(saved the file, exited jed editor)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Back in shell mode typed: chmod +x
marktest.bat</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I got an error "command not found". I have
tried many different ways of wording it and am getting no where.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>This is but a simple BAT file to make a DIR
when finished I will need this BAT file to make Hundreds of DIRs, but I cant
even get the basics to work.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
