Hello foamers,
I am currently developing a small GUI with Java to run openFOAM cases with it.
This GUI is meant to internally open a new terminal and execute the designated script.

The 5 first lines of my script are the following:

#!/bin/sh
cd ${0%/*} || exit 1 # Run from this directory

# Source tutorial run functions
. $WM_PROJECT_DIR/bin/tools/RunFunctions

As you can see, these are the first lines in every Allrun script from every openFoam case.

The problem comes when running this script with the GUI. I think that it tries to execute it as a superuser and it tries to execute the following:

sudo ./RunCase

And the result is:

./RunCase: 5: .: Can't open /bin/tools/RunFunctions

So the question is: is there any way of running these type of scripts as a superuser? I don't think I'm able to change the routine that the GUI does when opening a terminal.

Thanks in advance

did you source OpenFOAM etc/bashrc somewhere prior to Allrun?

In my /home/user/.bashrc the last line is:

source /opt/openfoam6/etc/bashrc


Since it seems that executing the script as a suepruser is not reading that line, I have tried to write the same line also in the script, before the RunFunctions line, but then, the error message is that the command source is not found.

I have also tried to write sudo source /opt/openfoam6/etc/bashrc alone in a terminal and the error reamins the same: command not found, so I guess the error goes in that direction, but I don't know how to fix it

See the information here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/5045...nning-a-script
There is something going on with source being a bash command.

Try using this as the first line:

#!/bin/bash
