Thread: HP-UX shell script to run file saved on different subdirectories

Trying to run files save in different subdirectories HP-UX. The files I am trying to run are named the same. e.g. directory/subdiretory0/panthers; directory/subdiretory1/panthers;directory/subdiretory2/panthers;directory/subdiretory3/panthers
Would like to loop thru each subdirectory and run the file 'panthers'. Save the output in another subdiredory lion e.g. directory/subdiretory0/lion;directory/subdiretory1/lion;directory/subdiretory2/lion;directory/subdiretory3/lion
I have no experience in shell scripting. thanks

Use ksh for loop. Create a script called script.sh

Code:

#!/usr/bin/ksh
dirs="/path/to/dir1 /path/to/dir2 /path/to/dir3"
for d in $dirs; do
   command-name >$d/file.txt
done

Run it as follows:

Code:

chmod +x script.sh
./script.sh
