Re: I cannot use the 'cd' command in a script

[Indigo <pointofavailability@xxxxxxxxx>]

Ok, two things:

1)  If you didn't understand using cd in a script, it's like this - from /etc

#!/bin/sh
#example

cd /
echo "test" > file.txt
exit 0

-- you'll find yourself back in /etc, but there will be file.txt in /

2)  If you want to mount your usb key automatically, I think you don't
need a script --
     just add it to /etc/fstab using disk-by-uuid and it should automount

@pansko  I promise I will edit the tazpanel README over the weekend.
I'm sorry it's taken so long, but the rest of my life has been crazy
(surely you understand that) -- I did get the chance to compile and
test tazpanel and I love it.  It really adds another dimension to the
possibilities of Slitaz... but more on that, later.  I have a few
ideas and a few questions, and will compose them in the next few days.
