#1211 closed defect (fixed)
VBox.sh is a bit dumb about $0 => fixed in the next version
| Reported by: | Ananth Shrinivas | Owned by: | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Component: | other | Version: | VirtualBox 1.5.4 |
| Keywords: | vbox.sh, $0, Unknown application | Cc: | |
| Guest type: | other | Host type: | Linux |
Description
OS Release:
$ uname -a SunOS knuth 5.11 snv_81 i86pc i386 i86pc
Problem:
Running VirtualBox as:
$ /usr/bin/VirtualBox (or) $ VirtualBox
works fine. But
cd /usr/bin/ ./VirtualBox Unknown application - ./VirtualBox
Fix:
VBox.sh is the culprit. Use basename $0 instead of the literal $0 value

Actually I think that this was originally reported against a Solaris host, but it should work fine on both Linux and Solaris in the next version.
