A script to show PATH

[siamhie]

How does it test the $PATH?

@siamhie was the question directed at me or the OP?

In both cases, neither "tests" PATH, we both just echo it, one into a pointless log file and the other into a pointless yad window.

Sorry @Melber, I should have quoted the OP when I made that comment.

There is an upgraded version in the first post now.
If you make that to a personal script, and if you name the script showpath.sh you can now use the Terminal command:

Code: Select all

showpath.sh --help

Does that help answering your good question.? :-)

Not really because your initial post said this

for showing and testing PATH

I was wondering how the script tests the path. If it is just echoing for $PATH, then running that from a terminal is no different.

Code: Select all

/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games:/sbin:/usr/sbin

MX Fluxbox does come with a script folder that I can use for -my- personal scripts if I wanted to.

Code: Select all

There are many ways to test.
And the taste for remembering and typing a lot of Terminal commands can be very different.
However if you want to see how PATH looks when you run a personal user script I am afraid you will have to run a script.
I can not guide you about Fluxbox.

Why not just:

Code: Select all

env | grep PATH

No script required.

Why not just:

Too easy
Why simple when you can do it complicated?
