bash not finding /home/guest/ scripts [Solved]

On my 486 machine I experienced this today.
Code: Select all
guest@porteus:~$ chmod +x test.sh
guest@porteus:~$ whoami
guest
guest@porteus:~$ test.sh
bash: test.sh: command not found
guest@porteus:~$ ls test.sh
test.sh*
guest@porteus:~$ cat test.sh
#!/bin/sh
if [ `whoami` != "root" ]
then
echo guest
else
echo root
fi
guest@porteus:~$ /home/guest/test.sh
guest
guest@porteus:~$
test.sh doesn't work but /home/guest/test.sh does.
If I specify any script in /home/guest/ bash no longer finds it!!
I have to include the /home/guest/ path before the script's names. I've never had to do that before.
How do I fix this?

Thanks
Bogomips. It works but doesn't survive a reboot with my save.dat file.
-update-
Well, maybe it did. But now I get this.
Code: Select all
guest@porteus:~$ test.sh
bash: test.sh: command not found
guest@porteus:~$ sh test.sh
guest
guest@porteus:~$ chmod +x test.sh
guest@porteus:~$ test.sh
bash: test.sh: command not found
guest@porteus:~$ sh test.sh
guest
guest@porteus:~$
Very strange situation. At least for me.
-update-
Using a backup save.dat.
Code: Select all
guest@porteus:~$ test.sh
bash: test.sh: command not found
guest@porteus:~$ sh test.sh
not guest
guest@porteus:~$ /home/guest/test.sh
not guest
guest@porteus:~$ chmod +x test.sh
guest@porteus:~$ test.sh
bash: test.sh: command not found
guest@porteus:~$

Try appending it here:
Code: Select all
guest@porteus:~$ cat .bashrc
# Setup color scheme for list call <brokenman>
alias ll='/bin/ls --color=auto -lF'
alias la='/bin/ls --color=auto -axF'
alias ls='/bin/ls --color=auto -xF'
# Append any additional sh scripts found in /etc/profile.d/:
for y in /etc/profile.d/*.sh ; do [ -x $y ] && . $y; done
unset y
# Setup shell prompt for guest <wread and fanthom>
PS1='\[\033[01;36m\]\u@\h:\[\033[01;32m\]\w\$\[\033[00m\] '
PS2='> '

My file.
Code: Select all
guest@porteus:~$ cat .bashrc
# Setup color scheme for list call <brokenman>
alias ll='/bin/ls --color=auto -lF'
alias la='/bin/ls --color=auto -axF'
alias ls='/bin/ls --color=auto -xF'
# Append any additional sh scripts found in /etc/profile.d/:
for y in /etc/profile.d/*.sh ; do [ -x $y ] && . $y; done
unset y
# Setup shell prompt for guest <wread and fanthom>
PS1='\[\033[01;36m\]\u@\h:\[\033[01;32m\]\w\$\[\033[00m\] '
PS2='> '
guest@porteus:~$
It appears to be the same as yours. And I suspect scripts in your /home/guest/ work normally.
Very strange situation.

/home/guest should never be a part of your $PATH. You will need to add is manually. You can put the file in /usr/bin /usr/local/bin (where all scripts should go) and it will run normally. Alternatively you can prefix the path with ./ if you are in the same directory.
E.g:
./script.sh
or call it with sh:
sh script.sh

Good grief.
Yes, of course, ./ is what I forgot.

Thanks, again.
