#!/bin/sh I have these lines in my script: DIRNAME="`dirname \"$0\"`" cd "$DIRNAME" SCRIPTDIR="`pwd`" What if I got rid of extra double quotes? Like this: DIRNAME=`dirname \"$0\"` cd "$DIRNAME" SCRIPTDIR=`pwd` Does this behave any differently in any kind of case? Are thes double quotes just superfluous?
