I have a basic script called script.sh which will take 3 parameters, each a python file. I need to run these programs within script.sh. I have
#! usr/bin/env python3
for my first line, and I've tried running each of the programs with python ${1} as well as python3 ${1}. I'm new to scripting; is it possible to run these programs within my script?
Did you mean to add a slash to the start of the path, as in #!/usr/bin/env python3? The path must be reachable from the working directory, and having a usr/bin/env in a project is unlikely, to say the least.
As for how to run it: if you actually want to use the shebang line interpreter the file must be executable and you must run the script as just /path/to/script.py (or ./path/to/script.py). As soon as you put a python or python3 in front of the path that command is going to be used as the interpreter.
if you mean to run python scripts via a shell script using shell CLAs you can try this one
#!/bin/bash
CLAString=$@ #Copying the CL arguments to a string
varlen=${#CLAString} #finding the no of CL args
if [[ $varlen -gt 0 ]] #if no of CL args is not zero
then
python ${1}.py # run first CLA python script
fi
execute this by ./script.sh file1 file2 file3
script.shmeant to be a shell script or a python script?script.shis a shell script. Also, when I removed the python/python3 and just had${1}it gives me a syntax error for that line.#!/bin/shor#!/bin/bash. The shell will then execute your python commands.
