SH.Bin and SH formats

[Vegito]

How do I install SH or SH.Bin file formats?

[trommaster]

you can use the sh command, eg:
$sh file.bin
or
$sh file
the other way is to make the file into an executable.
type ls-l filename and take a look at the first bit, it might be like this:
-rw------- ...... file name
this means that it is not executable. do this: chmod a+x filename then the ls-l should look like:
-rwx--x--x ...... filename
this means you can now run the file.
type in ./filename at the prompt (the ./ means that the file is in the current directory)

Hope this helps

I can't seem to get it working.


[root@bgp01040038bgs root]# $sh
[root@bgp01040038bgs root]# $sh UT2003-Demo-Linux.sh.bin
bash: UT2003-Demo-Linux.sh.bin: command not found
[root@bgp01040038bgs root]# $sh UT2003-Demo-Linux.sh.bin
bash: UT2003-Demo-Linux.sh.bin: command not found
[root@bgp01040038bgs root]# $sh UT2003-Demo-Linux.bin
bash: UT2003-Demo-Linux.bin: command not found
[root@bgp01040038bgs root]#

Prefixing the filename with "sh" should not be necessary. If the file is executable:

$ ./UT2003-Demo-Linux.sh.bin

or if for some strange reason "sh" is required

$ ./sh UT2003-Demo-Linux.sh.bin

Man it still won't work



[root@bgp01040038bgs root]# $ ./UT2003-demo-linux.sh.bin
bash: $: command not found
[root@bgp01040038bgs root]# $ ./UT2003-demo-linux.sh.bin
bash: $: command not found
[root@bgp01040038bgs root]# $ ./UT2003-demo-linux.sh.bin

Change to the directory where the bin file is and post the output of: ls -l

ah...
don't type $
that was just there to show that you type it at a prompt
sorry bout that

JimH,
i thought you could use sh (eg /bin/bash) to call a shell script that didn't have x attrib set
