Author read/execute a file
ganesh

hi all
i compile some fortran subroutines to create .o files and then create
an executable file called 'main' using following command. (hp unix)
" f90 -o main mainmod.o main.o addstf.o dcoup.o impedance.o
sourcnods.o thdfe.o calban.o der3ds.o inputj.o redvk.o st4r8.o
trifac.o damper.o fnct.o solstp.o step.o"

each time when i want to create the main.exe file i need to write the
whole thing at the command prompt.
is it possible to save this text in a txt file and read/call/execute
this txt file to execute the command/contents in it?

many thanks for help

You can write this command into a file which you invoke as a shell
script. Especially when you are creating software you could use the
'make' utility or the like. If your system contains 'f90' why doesn't it
contain 'make'? Or does it? Give it a try.

Well, write this command into a file, for example 'linkit', set this
file executable, and call it by its name: './linkit', depending on your
PATH settings.

Keywords: shells script, make, makefile

In addition, please learn to cross-post instead of multi-posting,
and please do not top-post.
