I’m developing some scripts. One for the annoying speaker beep regression that popped in Ubuntu 16.04 even though pcspkr is blacklisted. Another to fix a PulseAudio 8.0 bug in Ubuntu 16.04 where sound switches off from TV to the laptop.
What is the best directory to put my bash scripts in?
I’ve searched the Q&A database but I get a bunch of different answers for a bunch of different scenarios.
/usr/local has been recommended by one person because it’s in the PATH$. Is that the right thing to do?
Thank you for your advice.
Even though I accepted below answer over a year ago, I ended up using:
/usr/local/binfor scripts needing sudo powers/home/me/binfor scripts running at user level
After creating directory /home/me/bin you need to log out and in again for it to get into your PATH.
