dennismonsewicz Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 I am moving on to writing some shell scripting and had a quick question. I need another script to run when my linux box starts up (or in case it goes down and I need to bring it back up) and I was wondering in my shell command how do I write something to tell another script to start?

dennismonsewicz Posted April 23, 2009 Author Share Posted April 23, 2009 I actually figured out how to do it but I am getting the following: #!/bin/sh /work/projects/liferay/tomcat/bin/ . startup.sh & I am receiving the following error: /work/projects/liferay/tomcat/bin/: Permission denied The second line of code above is to start the Tomcat service and is supposed to start the service and then boot up Firefox showing Liferay (An open source CMS built on JAVA). I have checked ALL the permissions on that particular folder (bin) and have even blown them wide open starting at the root dir of /work. Any help?

trq Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Providing startup.sh has a shebang line and is execuatble. #!/bin/sh /work/projects/liferay/tomcat/bin/startup.sh & Are you sure /work is within the root of your system? Seems an odd place. Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/155415-solved-linux-shell-scripting/#findComment-817876 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maq Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 I have checked ALL the permissions on that particular folder (bin) and have even blown them wide open starting at the root dir of /work.
