path2.sh aka "$( which $1 )"

(1/1)

mocore:
a script for those to lazy or board of repeatedly  typing
nano $(which _some_script_in_path_ )
ect .. 


--- Code: ---#path2.sh
# echo(default) full path to any script in $PATH ,
# optionally prefix the cmd_path with other command eg nano/cat/file ect   
 [ -z $dbg ] || set -x ; #
 _cmd=$1
 _run=${2-echo} # set default to echo

 [ $# -eq 1 ] && shift     # enable extra args
 [ $# -eq 2 ] && shift 2

 cmd_path=$( which $_cmd )

 # run cmd passing  args 
 $_run $cmd_path  "$@"


--- End code ---

 


--- Quote ---#eg

# edit this(or any other) script ( in $PATH )
# path2.sh path2.sh nano

#- print this script
#  path2.sh path2.sh cat

#- debug this script
# path2.sh path2.sh "sh -x"

#- WTF
# export dbg=y path2.sh path2.sh "exec" path2.sh cat

(obviously) simpler yet also
similar in some ways (prefixing & arg juggling ) to : ' a shell repl function ' https://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php/topic,26193.0.html
aka * https://github.com/mchav/with -  Command prefixing for continuous workflow using a single tool.
*mchav/with requires bash

mocore:

for those who are forgetful/unfamiliar with the concept
its useful because it helps u type less  ;)

modifying PATH in core

--- Quote from: Rich on December 17, 2019, 10:13:32 AM ---Hi PDP-8
Take a look inside  ~/.profile  for adding paths.

on a bit of a tangent wrt .profile


--- Quote from: Rich on February 09, 2019, 02:21:40 PM ---Looks like additions to  .profile  probably need to be added above this section of the file in order to be seen:

--- Code: ---TERMTYPE=`/usr/bin/tty`
[ ${TERMTYPE:5:3} == "tty" ] && (
[ ! -f /etc/sysconfig/Xserver ] ||
[ -f /etc/sysconfig/text ] ||
[ -e /tmp/.X11-unix/X0 ] ||
startx
)
