Why doesn't it work when I issued the command: sh dir

[Tom Geudens]

Hi,
Because there is no such command ... as far as I can see there are a couple of c header files available (#man dir) but there is no actual command / executable.

Hi,

I guess you want to change directory
use
#cd

Hi,

Are you trying to sh the contents of the directory?
If so, cd into the directory and do:

for i in *
do
sh $i
done

The command "sh dir" is attempting to execute the directory. This is not possible and the kernel wont allow you to do this.

permissions on a directory may say execute, but on directories this has a quite different meaning than a file! Bit 1 on a directory allows a change directory.

Hi May

Are you trying to excute a directory , or files under it . You cannot excute a directory. All you do
cd /directory name and excute the file or say sh /test/ in case you want execute many file then may be you can put in some loop.
