sh script with "No such file or directory"

If you try to access your file from a sh script and then get the error "No such file or directory"

That means you need to specify the full path of the file.

Fig 1. shows the script that we don't use the full path filename as it is the value of variable BASE.  Fig 2. shows the output of the script which shows the error message "No such file or directory"


Fig 1. Script that has an error (gq1v1.sh)


Fig 2. Output from Using gq1v1.sh


When we change the script to refer to the file by using the full path as shown in Fig. 3, we can see that now we can access the file as shown in Fig. 4
