You are not sure what directory you are in, and the default prompt is not helpful.
Use the pwd built-in command, or set a more useful prompt . For example:
|
1 2 3 4 5 |
bash-2.03$ pwd /tmp bash-2.03$ export PS1='[\u@\h \w]$ ' [jp@solaris8 /tmp]$ |
pwd stands for print working directory and takes two options. -L displays your logical path and is the default.s displays your physical location, which may differ from your logical path if you have followed a symbolic link.
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 |
bash-2.03$ pwd /tmp/dir2 bash-2.03$ pwd -L /tmp/dir2 bash-2.03$ pwd -P /tmp/dir1 |
