How to install scripts

[Gert VD]

I have found some interesting scripts I would like to run on my freenas. Unfortunately, as a N00b, I have no clue how to install these scripts.

1. If I find a script in a forum, I should copy/write it in a text editor (fe: Vim)?
2. Save as : *.sh ?
3. Save where?
4. I should give permission to execute using chmod?
5. How do I finally run it?

I have been googling around and have found a few guides for scripting, but nowhere found an answer to a basic question like :where to save my scripts. Any enlightment or pointing me in the right direction (good basic guides) would be welcome.

freenas 8.3.1

1 and 4: yes
2: not required, you could just name it "command" for instance (without the quotes) - take care not to give it the same name as an existing command or script.
3: Create a directory in the home directory of your user called "bin" (again, without the quotes, so $HOME/bin) for example. This is already in the $PATH, if you choose another directory, you will need to change $PATH.
5. By giving it's name in a shell (from ssh for example): "command" (again, without the quotes.

Ok,

I executed these steps:

1. created a directory "bin" using windows explorer in "Freenas win" (the windows share I made, which is located on /mnt/NASDisk2, which is also the homedirectory for my user-id.
2. executed this command in the shell: chmod u+x /mnt/NASDisk2/bin/temp.sh (nothing visualy happend here)
3. executed this in shell: /bin/sh /mnt/NASDisk2/bin/temp.sh

by just typing "temp.sh" in the shell, nothing happend. It just said: bash: temp.sh: command not found
Here is the script I copied and the result I got in the shell. I am very sure I'm making some mistake(s) here
ps: the script and above commands are googled, I have very little understanding of what they mean in detail.

script:

Code:

1.#! /bin/sh
 
2.echo "CPU temp :"
 
3.sysctl -a |egrep -E "cpu\.[0-9]+\.temp"
 
4.echo
 
5.echo "HDD temp :"
 
6.for i in $(sysctl -n kern.disks)
 
7.do
 
8.        DevTemp=`smartctl -a /dev/$i | awk '/Temperature_Celsius/{print $0}' | awk '{print $10 "C"}'`
 
9.        DevSerNum=`smartctl -a /dev/$i | awk '/Serial Number:/{print $0}' | awk '{print $3}'`
 
10.        DevName=`smartctl -a /dev/$i | awk '/Device Model:/{print $0}' | awk '{print $3}'`
 
11.        echo $i $DevTemp $DevSerNum $DevName
 
12.done
 
13.
 

and shell:

[root@freenas ~]# /bin/sh /mnt/NASDisk2/temp.sh

/mnt/NASDisk2/temp.sh: Can't open /mnt/NASDisk2/temp.sh: No such file or directory

[root@freenas ~]# /bin/sh /mnt/NASDisk2/bin/temp.sh

1.#!: not found

2.echo: not found

3.sysctl: not found

5.echo: not found

6.for: not found

Remove all of the line numbers from the script.

I am trying to accomplish the same thing and get an "illegal option" when doing so. What am I doing wrong here?

Please don't dig up old threads unless there's a very good reason.
