Better place for a script used in an action.

[lordphoenix-3]

Hi all,
I would like use the action script fix_date.sh with an action but I
wonder if there is a recommended place where to put the script. And if
there is no official policy about where would you put this script?

Thanks for help.

Sorry for my bad English I don't speak it very often.

I would guess many of us already have a bunch of Bash scripts for various
small taks, in something like ~/bin/. So do the same. :) ~/bin is kind of
"official", in that some distributions will automatically include it in
the PATH environment variable, and it's (unofficially?) acknowledged as
the usual place to keep personal scripts.

If you put scripts in your home directory they will be backuped with your personal data.
A possibility would be to create ~/.claws-mail/scripts.
Other good choices would be to create /opt/scripts or use /usr/local/bin.

You add PATHes in ~/.profile which is less tedious than /etc/profile which system udpates may ask to overwrite. If you call scripts by the full path then you don't need to fiddle with PATH.

Isn't this something you want to happen? After all, they are custom
scripts which, if you lose, you may have a hard time redoing from scratch.
And bash scripts are very small and don't take much space, so they won't
increase the size of your backup.
