Executables

I seem to be having problems running an executable in any other directory
other
than “/bin” - I am “root” and the file I’m trying to execute has been
downloaded using
ftp into a /home type director. I have done a chmod 777 filename but to no
avail.
The file runs OK when copied to the “/bin” directory ?

Any other ideas - It exists when the directory is listed but when it is
executed QNX
says “no such file or directory”

#2

root’s path does not include the current directory, so the OS can’t find the
executable file.
Try ./filename

… and if you do this, be aware it can be a security risk in some
situations.

And if you get tired of typing the ./ everytime, just add the following
line to your /etc/profile

PATH=$PATH:.
