Hello world script doesn't work

Question

I'm trying to get a simple script "test1.sh" to work on my pi, but keep getting

-bash: test1: command not found

the script is literally:

#!/bin/bash

echo "Hello World!"

and called test1.sh, located in the /home/scripts directory.

I can navigate to it in terminal, but it will not run.

Iv'e set the permissions to 755 on the script and the "scripts" directory

I'm trying to run from the user pi.

any ideas what i'm doing wrong?

Answer 1

You do call your script with a path in front, like /home/scripts/test1.sh or ./test1.sh, do you? What does ls -la /home/scripts/test1.sh say?

I was editing in windows, using notepad++ and then using winscp to move it over to the PI. I needed to save it in notepad as a unix file - oops!
