Shell Script Question
I have a problem with a installation shell script (from my previous
posts, you can see I am easily confused). Some background: I downloaded
the Oracle 8.0.5 (production) tar from the net, untarred it using WinZip
and burnt it onto a CD. This begs the question, why would you do this?
My CD-R is at work, runs on NT and they have a big T-1 line to download
a 147MB file. In addition, a 147MB file extracts to 500MB and then
install requires 1GB of free space which I just don't have at home on my
Linux box. Everything went fine and I have shiny CD of 8.0.5 prod.
However, when I try to run the installation script, it states that it
cannot find 'file or directory'. I can bring this file up in vi, the
first line is #!/bin/sh, and the rest is a normal shell script. I
copied the script over onto my home directory, to see if it would run
outside of the CD and print some echo statements that I had put in but
there was no joy in Mudville. Any ideas I can try? The following are
the first few statements from the script:
#!/bin/sh
ORAINST_ORADOC=T; export ORAINST_ORADOC
ORAINST_CDROMONLY=T; export ORAINST_CDROMONLY
ORAINST_DIR="`pwd`/`dirname $0`"
ORACLE_ICON=$ORAINST_DIR;export ORACLE_ICON
cd $ORAINST_DIR
ORACLE_TERMINAL=${ORACLE_TERMINAL:=$ORAINST_DIR}
export ORACLE_TERMINAL

All that is Microsoft does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old AT&T Unix that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by frost.
From the ashes of Spec1170 a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be the Unix OS that was broken,
Linux shall be king.
