Hi!,

I signed up with a hosting service whihc has FreeBSD 2.2.8 with a lot of
goodies like PHP, MysQL and others.

I am trying to execute a small shell script and always received the
"command not found" error.

This is the "display" shell script:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

# This script displays the date, time, username and
# current directory.
echo "Date and time is:"
date
echo
echo "Your username is: `whoami` \\n"
echo "Your current directory is: \\c"
pwd

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I am trying this from a tcsh shell. When I start a Bourne shell and type
the same "display" command, I get "no such file or directory".

The "display" script is in my path and it has "rwx" permissions.

I even try ./display while sitting in the directory where the script is,
but to know avail.

Any suggestions... this is probably very basic... but remember I am a
newbie with Unix.
