couple of noob questions
Is it best to wright menu driven script all in one file of link it to different scripts
If linking how do that ? Is there away when a script exits to leave you in the directory the script it self was last in b4 exit instead of returning you back to to dir you where in when you started script. ie.. start script in \home script runs and change dir a few time finishing in \home\whatever script exits and your shell returns prompt back in \home how do get prompt back so you are still in \home\whatever Is there away to kill processes without the pid No ie process name

I was just playing about right silly little short cut type scripts to help manage out server
heres two silly examples that did not work Code:
echo -e "changing directory" cd /var/www/html ls | more But when script exits i u return to dir where u started script from. Then i wrote 3 little scripts for TeamSpeak one checks status one stops but the 3rd which should restarted ts did not work. The first 2 are all run as root and they work fine but the 3rd changes users and does not work.. Code:
cd /home/ts/tss2_rc2 su ts ./teamspeak2-server_startscript start Just some silly little thing i was playing about with not inportant just help you learn and move on to biggger things

I Think i no why but i wonder what the way round it is
When you open terminal that is for example your login shell, when you run a script it opens a new shell and your login goes into hibernation if you like when script finishes that shell shuts and put's you back in login shell That what i think happens i am probably way off

found one way round it, run script using . command causes the script to get excuted using the same shell
ie run you script ./myscript opens new shell .myscript cause script to run in current shell

When a child process is created (your script), it copy of its variables and current directory. So the child (your script) can change these values all it wants but the changes won't affect the parent shell, since the child is changing a copy of the original data.
As you said use Code:
. scriptname
