Create symlinks to the perl scripts and place the links into a directory in their $PATH
Example: $ ln -s /usr/bin/scripts/somescript.pl /bin/somescript Steven Kreuzer Linux Systems Administrator Etagon, Inc W: 646.728.0656 F: 646.728.0607 E: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: Hemond, Steve [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, December 17, 2003 9:11 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Users executing perl scripts Hi people, I have finished some little perl scripts that gives basic infos to my users. I want to make these perl scripts available to all users (so I would probably put them in /usr/local/bin). However, my perl scripts has the .pl extension, and I would like them to keep this extension for finding purposes (like if I need to find all .pl files are in /usr/local for example). The users are used to enter a command without having to type the extension (ls, who, etc.) so that wouldn't be a good idea for them to call my perl script with the extension. What would be the best thing to do if I don't wanna lose the .pl extension? ** I personnaly think it wouldn`t be a good idea to include aliases in the users .profile, because each time I would finish a new script I would have to modify their .profile each time. Thanks in advance for your help, Best regards, Steve Hemond Programmeur Analyste / Analyst Programmer Smurfit-Stone, Ressources Forestieres La Tuque, P.Q.
