checkign filesystems of current path
|

| example, i am in prompt myserver#/var/adm]
i wanted to find out which filesystem the current path is so i wanted
to do something like df -kt 'echo $pwd'. but it doesnt work. there are
alternatives like df -kt "type in the current path" or df -kt | grep
"current path". basically, i think i need to know how to parse a
builtin command so that it can be passed to another command as input.

What shell are you using?
Some shells have a variable, $PWD, that contains the current
directory, in which case you can do:
df -kt "$PWD"
If not, there is a standard command, pwd, which will give you the
information. You can use the output of pwd as an argument to df by
using command substitution:
df -kt "`pwd`"

Mostly that it doesn't work on any system I've tried it on.
But neither do the solutions I posted. 
man df:
-t type
Report on filesystems of a given type (for example, nfs
or 4.2).
Leave out the -t option and yours is the best way (says I,
slapping myself on the forehead and saying, "It's bedtime!")

thanks for posting.. your commands do work..
mine too :D df -kt `pwd` !
in `pwd` , this `` is used to parse the command?
also, i have this alias bkbin which changes to /my/bin/
now in my /my/bin, i have a subdirectory myhome, so that makes up /my/bin/myhome/
now i am in /tmp, i can do a
1) bkbin
2) cd myhome
however, i wanted to do this bkbin/myhome, but fails....
any comments?
