Shell script current directory?

Question

What is current directory of shell script? I this current directory from which I called it? Or this directory where script located?

Answer 1

As already mentioned, the location will be where the script was called from. If you wish to have the script reference it's installed location, it's quite simple. Below is a snippet that will print the PWD and the installed directory:

    #!/bin/bash
    echo "Script executed from: ${PWD}"

    BASEDIR=$(dirname $0)
    echo "Script location: ${BASEDIR}"
