tc@box:/mnt/sda6/AcrobatReadnerd$

After, in order:
1 I kept the downloaded file
2 I unmount sda1
3 I restart the script but instead of re-use previously downloaded file starts to download again
4 so I gave up 

[Jason W]

Attached is a corrected copy, uses /opt by default, does not redownload if source exists.

Unfortunately the script does not work yet:

[Jason W]

The SRCDIR is /opt/acroread123, not /opt.  If you place the tarball in /opt it will be downloaded again, and again.  Since the download attempts were cut short with control-C, the source will start downloading again since the source is deleted if it's md5sum does not match up.

It works here, I cannot reproduce.

[vinnie]

Now is ok 
Use the relative path to where the script is not a good idea?

[Jason W]

Actually, that can be done, just change the SRCDIR variable to point to `pwd`, or wherever you want.  I picked /opt as everyone has an /opt and it can be mounted.  I will ponder on whether to change it to default to `pwd`, but most scripts use a temporary directory as to not clutter /home or wherever the script is located.

[vinnie]

I do not understand the script, but a solution could be to first search for the files in `pwd` and if it is not in /opt/acroread123, after that make all operations there, as already is.

You could also make possible the selection of files through an argument after the command, and if not, tell to the user where the file will be downloaded.

Anyway thanks again, yesterday acrobat helped me a lot (especially for print settings)

[Jason W]

Actually, the current working directory makes sense and is the path of least surprise.  Want to download to /tmp, the cd to /tmp and run the script.   I will add that in when I get a chance.

[Techmaster317]

Hello, I am using 4.2 and I am still having trouble with this. When I try to execute the file with terminal I get a message Cant open file. If anybody could help I would appreciate it.

[vinnie]

You've made the script executable?
chmod 777 . /get_acroread

[Techmaster317]

I had not done that but it is still giving the "couldn't open file" error, its directory is /home/tc/get_acroread.sh so I have been typing sh /home/tc/get_acroread.sh in terminal and get message " sh: can't open '/home/tc/get_acroread.sh' "
any ideas?

[Rich]

Hi Techmaster317
Is the file called  get_acroread.sh  or get_acroread?

[Techmaster317]

I thought I had it working because when I left off the .sh in the file name it executes but now it starts to download something and then I get a message "Download failed, aborting" now what?

[Techmaster317]

Ok I tried it again and both times it gives the download failed message at 59% if that is any help

[gerald_clark]

Are you running out of RAM during the download?
