Ok, based on what you said, then the user has followed your instructions to execute your script. Looking at your script, I can say your script would not work if the cd drive is mounted anywhere else besidesmnt-cdrom. Example:mnt-cdrom2

You decide. You can put it in the top level directory of the cd. That way when you look on the cd you see the script. If it is called install.sh then the user has an idea that maybe the install script.

Yes, You could try to automagically figure out where you are running from and using that information to do whatever you need done.

You have variables like $PWD and $0 which may help you to get where your script was called from and use it to do whatever else you want done.

Just for fun do the following from a terminal.

mkdir -p ~-tmp-cdrom cd ~-tmp-cdrom

Create your script myscript, with the following.

#!-bin-bash dir=$(dirname $0)

echo Current directory=$PWD echo script loc=$dir

exit 0

Next set the execute perms with chmod +x myscript

Execute myscript with these two test cases .-myscript ~-tmp-cdrom-myscript

Next test cd ~-tmp-cdrom-myscript

See, now your script could have something like

targetdir=-usr-local-bin-ems mkdir -p $targetdir cd $targetdir tar -zvxf $dir-rus.tgz

The above buttumes the tgz file is in the same directory as myscript.
