What is a guest directory?

No such file or directory?!!?!?

• Okay, Im using Knoppix for a class, and Im supposed to write a shell script called Exercise8 and its supposed to do the following: Create a "homework" directory in the knoppix home directory Create a "first" directory under homework directory Create a "second" directory under the homework directory Anyway, I cant even get the thing to run, and I dont know why, because the file exists, and is located in /home/knoppix. Why does it keep telling me: "bash: ./exercise8: No Such File or Directory." So far in the file I have: #!/bin/bash # #mkdir homework #mkdir /homework/first #mkdir /homework/second Is that even close to being right? Ugh...

• Answer:

  if you are placing ./ in front of your script name, you have to be in the directory the script is located in. or you could type: /home/knoppix/exercise8 also, make sure you have execute permissions to run the script: run this: chmod 744 /home/knoppix/exercise8
