Shell Script to command line syntax ?

[fawqati]

Hi All,

Is there a way to execute a very small shell script on the command line in 1 line, such that i can alias it rather than have it as a file ??? I will try to explain :

- the shell script file is very small
#!/bin/sh
HOME=/project/projectname
export HOME
/project/projectname/my_exe_prog.perl

and i want to do something like this from the command line :
> sh HOME=/project/projectname;export HOME;/project/projectname/my_exe_prog.perl

is "eval" wat i need or something else completely ???

ive totally lost it this afternoon as it is friday and cant wait for the w/e to start !!!


Many thanks in advance for your effort, support adn time in this ...

If you want to finish something quickly before the weekend comes, the best way is to look at the documents yourself. :)

Do this at the command line:

man bash

If man pages are not installed on your system, google this:

man bash Linux

Good luck! :)

you have several choices:

1. alias m_e_p='export HOME=/project/projectname;\
$HOME/my_exe_prog.perl'

2. source m_e_p (where m_e_p is the script: needn't be all on
one line)--need to rewrite m_e_p as a function
m_e_p () { m_e_p as before }

3. chmod a+x m_e_p (with the file in your path: I use
/usr/local/bin

in each case, the command "m_e_p" should cause the
script to execute.
