[comp.os.minix] indirect command procedures

dnorwoo@hubcap.UUCP (daniel james norwood) (02/18/89)

I know that in VMS a .com filename preceeded by @ invokes a command procedure
written in DCL.  What command or symbol coresponds to this in MINIX?

There are two ways:

1) use the command    sh filename
2) chmod the x-bit, e.g.      chmod 777 filename
and  execute it by typing     filename
