Unix-C-Running-thereof

[sitko]

Hi,

I know this is a stupid question, but is there any special trick to running a C program on a Unix machine, after I've made (make)d it already? I've not touched this code for several months, and now I need to run it from a shell script, and for the life of me, I can't figure out if there was anything else I need to include with the call to the C program. I have:

#! /bin/sh
C_Program input.txt
echo done

In a shell script called "RunProgram " that I activate with:
./RunProgram.sh

But, this errors out.

Thanks,
Sitko.

Maybe you need to include the path to your program when you execute it? I don't know otherwise - what error do you get?

I'm not sure how I did it, but I got it to work...

I added "/bin/sh ./"<shell script> and that seemed to do the trick.

Thanks.

Yeah, shell scripts are run with 'sh ./scriptname.sh' or '/bin/sh ./scriptname.sh'.
