To add on that: The dirname $0 is in so called backticks: ` - this is
different from an apostrophe (')
Backticks in a shellscript mean: Execute the expression that is
enclosed with the backticks and return the output of the command.
An alternative way in bash is to use the $(command to execute)
notation (i.e. put the command in $( )
So it is not enough to replace dirname "$0", but you would have to
remove or change the backticks to regular quotes. (or you use don't
use the script, but the run_test.sh one, as Andre mentioned)
