This has probably been discussed before so try not to flame me too
much. :-)
I'm trying to use "cd" in a bourne shell script to assist new users
with an application. Its real simple:
who
date
cd /utils
Now there are a few other things I can set before the "cd" command
but you get the idea. As you know, what happens is that after I run the script
I end up in the same directory I started from. I seem to recall running
into this before but for the life of me I cannot recall the solution.
(don't you just hate that!) Obviously after running the above script I
would want a "pwd" to return "/utils". Hope someone can clear the smoke
for me on this one. Thanks.
