handling $1 in shell script directory path
I have this part of the script(bash) that worked absolutely fine until recently but it throws me an error with file not found when using $1 to give directory path. Only difference I know is it stopped working after we upgraded to rhel 7.
here is the part of the script:
MOUNTINST=/opt/mqm80_Inst1
$1/crtMQdir.ksh $MOUNTINST/bin 755 mqm
$1/crtMQdir.ksh $MOUNTINST/logs 755 mqm
$1/crtMQdir.ksh $MOUNTINST/java/lib/soap 755 mqm
I am in the right directory path and also made sure the file exists:
/var/mqm/trace/WMQUNX8000.02]
$ ll *crt*
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 mqm mqm 826 Apr 10 2014 crtMQdir.ksh
Here is the error I get:
./test5.sh: line 4: /crtMQdir.ksh: No such file or directory
./test5.sh: line 6: /crtMQdir.ksh: No such file or directory
./test5.sh: line 8: /crtMQdir.ksh: No such file or directory
Am I missing something ?

You have to give directory path as an argument oftest5.shwhere those.kshfiles are exists For example: ./test5.sh /home/abcd/bin

Be sure to give the path as an argument for the script, as $1 is the first argument of the script.
If you want the path and the script name (complete path of the script, e.g /path/to/crtMQdir.ksh), you need to use $0 instead.
You also need to ensure that your ksh script has execution permissions: chmod +x /path/to/crtMQdir.ksh
An alternate way, if you want to run it from the current directory, is to simply replace $1 by $PWD in your current script. If you want it to use the same directory as the one to this script, you could also use $(dirname $0) instead of the $1.
