Hey!
When using the 'cd' command in a script it has no impact on the current
shell :
That's by design.
If you execute a script, then this usually happens in it's own sub-shell which has it's own environment.
Any modification done to the environment therefore applies only to environment of the sub-shell and not the one you started the script in.
If you want the script executed in the current shell you need to call the script with a '.' in front.
E.g. ':~# . /etc/script.sh' instead of ':~# /etc/script.sh'
Thereafter you should be in the directory you cd'd into.
Rgds.,
Klaus
