| #!/bin/bash | |
| # A simple test script to demonstrate how to find the | |
| # "absolute path" at which a script is running. Used | |
| # to avoid some of the pitfals of using 'pwd' or hard- | |
| # coded paths when running scripts from cron or another | |
| # directory. | |
| # | |
| # Try it out: | |
| # run the script from the current directory, then | |
| # cd.. and run it again (using the file path). | |
| # | |
| # You can see that CURDIR changes depending on where | |
| # you run the script from, but ABSDIR stays the same. | |
| CURDIR=`/bin/pwd` | |
| BASEDIR=$(dirname $0) | |
| ABSPATH=$(readlink -f $0) | |
| ABSDIR=$(dirname $ABSPATH) | |
| echo "CURDIR is $CURDIR" | |
| echo "BASEDIR is $BASEDIR" | |
| echo "ABSPATH is $ABSPATH" | |
| echo "ABSDIR is $ABSDIR" |
