To find out the directory in which a shell script file resides, you can use the dirname command with the $0 variable, which contains the name of the script file.
For example, to print the directory in which the script file resides, you can use the following command:
refer to:lautturi.comecho $(dirname $0)
This will print the directory in which the script file is located.
The dirname command returns the directory component of a file path. When used with the $0 variable, it returns the directory in which the script file is located.
You can also use the pwd command to print the current working directory. For example:
echo $(pwd)
This will print the current working directory, which is the directory from which the script was executed.
Keep in mind that the pwd command only works if the script was executed from the current working directory. If the script was executed from a different directory, the pwd command will not return the directory in which the script file resides. In that case, you can use the dirname command as shown above.
You can use these commands to set a variable containing the directory in which the script file resides. For example:
SCRIPT_DIR=$(dirname $0)
This will set the SCRIPT_DIR variable to the directory in which the script file is located. You can then use the SCRIPT_DIR variable in your script to reference files or directories in the script's directory.
For example, to reference a file named config.txt in the script's directory, you can use the following command:
config_file="$SCRIPT_DIR/config.txt"
This will set the config_file variable to the full path of the config.txt file, using the SCRIPT_DIR variable to reference the script's directory.
