Lesson to self - read and reread your own blog posts

Having just spent 30 minutes wondering why the WebSphere Application Server 6.1.0.25 command: -

[root@voyager ~]# . /opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/bin/setupCmdLine.sh 

kept failing to run, with: -

dirname: invalid option -- b
Try `dirname --help' for more information.

I remembered that, when WebSphere Portal is in the mix, that the script that I needed to run is: -

[root@voyager ~]# . /opt/IBM/WebSphere/wp_profile/bin/setupCmdLine.sh 

instead.

I suspect that this is always the case with WebSphere Application Server 6.1, which has introduced the concept of profiles.

It was even more galling when I looked back in time to a blog posting from about 15 months ago: -

Visual Studio Code - Wow 🙀

Why did I not know that I can merely hit [cmd] [p]  to bring up a search box allowing me to search my project e.g. a repo cloned from GitHub...
