Hi all,
My brain cell ran away from home. I have an incredibly simple script
that doesn't do what I expect. I use "mkdir DIR; cd DIR" a lot so I'm
trying to put it in a script: "~/bin/mdcd".
After checking that $1 exists:
dir="$1"
mkdir -p "$dir"
cd "$dir" <------ never executes
The directory is created so there is no error there.
Huh? Insight anyone?
Thanks,
Mike Wright

Hi
not sure about that but I think the "cd" command executes indeed
but it's valid only for the scripts' environment and not for the
shell you started the script from.
If it's not so, may be my brain cells are gone too.
