Hello,
In Beta 18 I used to be able to execute scripts that are in the path
using just a 'sh scriptname' type command line.
As of beta 19 I have to include the full path to the script, as
otherwise the script fails to execute, returning an error "can't open
scriptname".
"ls -l" shows that the scripts don't have an 'x' attribute set, which
they should have, as they start with #! as supposedly is being
checked (according to the FAQ) (by sh.exe I assume). May be the
missing attribute is the problem. However, chmod doesn't help. Is
this a bug or have I missed something that will get the scripts to
run in the way they did in beta 18?
Thanks in advance for useful suggestions.
