Hi Stilianos,

Did you first try running your example macro independently of your sheel script?

The .L command can only be run at the prompt (or via gROOT->ProcessLine).

The content of a script needs to be proper C++ (+ a few CINT extensions).

Cheers,
Philippe.

PS. If you use 
     #!/bin/bash -x
at the start of your shell script, you'll be able to see what it really does.

Hi, 
        I am having a small problem running the following shell script that invokes ROOT: 
#!/bin/bash 
.... 
....    some preliminary stuff here 
.... 
exec $ROOTSYS/bin/root cat<<ROOTSCRIPT 
{ 
        .L myROOTmacro.C 
        myROOTmacro( ... some args ... ) 
} 
ROOTSCRIPT 
        ROOT compain that it can't find the macro in the default path for ROOT macros. 
        What I don't understand is why ROOT look at this location. The macro resides in the same 
        directory that the shell script does, shouldn't be the first place to look there? 
        Thanks, 
Stelios.
