Hello,
when i execute a script that contains only one line "cd /home",
the script executes and comes back to my current directory. I understand
that the cd is being executed in the sub shell that is being spawned while
executing the script. But in my initial days of unix admin i remember that
after i have executed the script, i used to see that my current directory is
not same as that of directory i was in while executing the script. Instead
the directory used to be the directory that i have changed in the script.
I know that this is a silly question but somehow it's not striking me now.
TIA
Praveen.K
