I have a common shell script file need to be accessed from several files in other directories.
Time is urgent, although I know there are two ways for me to do this, but I don't know how.
1. write exact path
./region_apps/asia/rscgdc/rcrnsas/current/weekly/getmaillist.sh
or
.//region_apps/asia/rscgdc/rcrnsas/current/weekly/getmaillist.sh
Why failed?
2. Change PATH to include the directory which .sh file in
I use the following:
$ newpath='./region_apps/asia/rscgdc/rcrnsas/current/weekly/'
$ PATH=$newpath:$PATH
But this seems not functioning. When executing, system still reports: Not Found.
Please kindly advise on how to do. Thanks so much!

You should use the absolute path to the script. cd to the directory with the script and run a pwd command. This is the absolute path. It starts with a "/" not a dot.
