I'm pretty new to Bash and Linux in general. I've created a couple scripts that I would like to be able to use by typing the command, rather than the directory and the executable file. I'm using Debian Jessie if that makes a difference.
The path to one of my scripts is ~/Scripts/DIR_1/My_Script.sh while another is in ~Scripts/DIR_2/My_Other_Script.sh. I would like ALL of the scripts contained withing the Scripts directory to be indexed as commands regardless of directory/path depth.
I've appended this text to the end of my .bashrc file...
PATH=${PATH}:$(find ~/Scripts -type d | sed '/\/\\./d' | tr '\n' ':' | sed 's/:$//')
Since I'm pretty new to this kind of thing, I had to steal that line from here.
When I try to run My_Script from the command line withing a sub directory of my home folder (or anywhere else for that matter) I get My_Script: command not found
I will readily admit that I might have misunderstood the process of adding a bash script to the command line.
How do I recursively add bash scripts as commands? What is wrong with the process I'm currently using?
I think your issue is that you're not putting the .sh, that is part of your file name.
Normally, pressing tab after having typed only the first letter should complete the command up to the point where there is an ambiguity (or completely if there's none). In case of ambiguity, pressing tab a second time shows the options. So in your case, if you type My<tab><tab> you should have options My_Script.sh and My_Other_Script.sh displayed. And if you type My_Script<tab> it should complete by putting My_Script.sh
Edit
I forgot to precise that you can check the value of PATH by doing echo $PATH. This will allow you to check that the command you copied did what you wanted.
