Well, you got me all enthused, sigh :-(.
Which requires a path. The objective (here) is not to put the scripts on a
path because they are transient and using PATH would be overkill. So:
./<my_script> Which does indeed provide a path ('.'). But so
does dirname $0.
source scripts/<my_scripts> Which can't find <my_scripts>. `dirname $0`
returns 'bash', and as an added mystery if the code looks like:
echo $0
echo `dirname $0`
which -a <my_script>
the system also crashes my bash shell.
Oh well.
