Executing own Unix command in terminal?

Question

I made an Unix command, macmac2unix, which converts Mac's Word file for Unix platforms.

I would like to run the command as

$macmac2unix file1 file2 file3 ...

Problem: How can I run this command in every path?

I added the following to .bashrc unsuccessfully

CDPATH=:/Users/Sam/Documents/Unix

Answer 1

Add it to PATH, not CDPATH.

Answer 2

Try adding

export PATH=$PATH:/Users/Sam/Documents/Unix

to your .bashrc

Make your script executeable be sure it's located in /Users/Sam/Documents/Unix. You could reread your .bashrc with:

~> . ~/.bashrc

But if you already played around with your enviroment variables a restart of your terminal would be cleaner.

Answer 3

Try adding it in PATH like this:

PATH=/Users/Sam/Documents/Unix:$PATH
