How can I make a file common?

[Henry Chua]

I have created a script but I need to make it common so that I can run wherever in the system, how can I achieve this?

Thank you for your kind advise !! =)

If i am not wrong you want to make a file accessable from any directory. You can do this by adding path of that script to /etc/PATH file.

Hi,

just add the dir in which the script resides to your PATH Variable and then you're able to run it from wherever you are

We have to export that PATH on PATH environment varible. Default searchable path will be given in /etc/PATH file. Include the new path there.

PATH=/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr:/tmp .. like that.

Else simply add that script on /usr/bin/ or /usr/sbin/ location so that those path's are in searchable path.

Change the permission of script to 755 to execute them
