Anyone else here feel an irrational need to keep their personal scripts in ~/.bin to hide it from graphical file managers?
Yep, I in fact keep ~/.bin which symlinks to dirs like ~/.scripts (scripts I wrote), ~/.apps (third party apps that didn't warrant an install via pacman), etc. Don't need that clutter when ls'ing or browsing w/ konqueror.

to your ~/.bashrc file or to make it global, your /etc/rc.local file.
/usr/local/bin is a nice place to keep custom scripts as it isn't generally used by Arch packages (they default to /usr/bin)
]]>/usr/local/bin or /usr/local/sbin are still good places.....you just need to update your PATH variable

pacman-cage
from terminal. So where do script files go again if they are to be used system wide?

But I don't know, where is the right place for this script. It's a global script for all users on the system.
I moved it to /usr/local/bin, correct?
