Sorry for the rather low-level question (I'm still learning linux), but how do you run a shell script? I downloaded one to upgrade my java version for something I need to do, but clicking on it in kde does nothing, and I don't know how to run it through the shell. I'm trying to open it in RedHat Linux 7.1, and it is the one from the http link on this page:

If you could help me in any way, I would really appreciate it.
Thank you
Hmmm, To run a shell script you just do a chmod 777 script name (if it is already an executable then just do a ./script name
Just check out the Antionline FAQ for more basic commands :)
found the answer!
had to type sh j2se
thank you for the help, ac1dsp3ctrum
chmod 777 will make the file world writable, which I doubt anyone wants to do, expecially if its a script that has any sort of priveledges. the best thing to do, is just chmod +x <script name> , then ./script ( as ac1d already said). or as you already found out sh will invoke the shell script.Quote:

Umm, as hogfly pointed out, chmod 777 isn't a good idea. It's better to chmod it 700 if it's owned by the user who's going to run it.
Whenever you have a lot of time....try chmoding it to 111. :)
