SAYING PUT AND EXECUTING ELSEWHERE

Doing things from the present directory. 
Say, if you want to list all the files 
in /etc directory being in your present 
directory you can do so by typing 

$ (cd /etc; ls -l)

You will get the listing but you are 
still in your present directory. 

This is also useful in executing scripts
without leaving your current directory.
