Updating tcz apps

As I thought, thanks. The part I was unsure of was it's placement on the path.

Is /usr/local/bin/ a good home or one of the other path dirs preferable?

Nice script JPeters, thanks again.

/usr/local/bin is always good (it's where I'd load it if I made an "update.tcz" extension).  Personally, I place my scripts in /home/tc/.local/bin, which is included in PATH and gets backed up with my home directory.

In /home/tc/.profile:

Code: [Select]


if [ -d "$HOME/.local/bin" ] ; then
      PATH=$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH
      export PATH
      fi

OK so you're simply appending a directory to the path. That little bit you got there could be done the same by inserting this somewhere no? Had to ask because my time to learn is limited. Thanks for your time and the example.

export PATH=$PATH:/home/tc/.local/bin

That will do it. I think it's already set up in .profile though, so it will save between boots. (I haven't checked in a while...at least it used to be).
