How do I use the run command (I assume it is used on the terminal). for example, I received an instruction to run /opt/COMODO/post+setup.sh -- then, after that i would do etc/init.d/cmdavd restart...my problem is that I cannot get the terminal to accept a run command. Thank you, Richard Volta

command-line

  1. As Zachree1 also said there is no run in linux. What you need is ./. In linux, if you want to execute a file you make it have executable permission and put ./ before it to run. In your case you will have to do

    First make it executable

    sudo chmod a+x /opt/COMODO/post+setup.sh

    Then run it

    cd /opt/COMODO/
./post+setup.sh

    Put a sudo in front of command if it says Operation not permitted or Permission Denied.

    After that, since cmdavd is inside /etc you will require sudo permissions, so command would be,

    sudo /etc/init.d/cmdavd restart

    Hope that clears it up

  2. To run something in the terminal you just type it in. In your case: /opt/COMODO/post-setup.sh and then /etc/init.d/cmdavd restart. Puttin sudo before both commands is also probably best.

    There is no command to run something in the terminal, you just run it by typing its path.
