How to "save as" a notebook programmatically (from within the notebook), given a path string?

here is a path string (it specifies the new name and location of the new notebook)

path="/home/conor/myNewNoteBook.nb"

I have tried many commands but none seem to work. I reckon it is something similar to this.

FrontEndExecute[ FrontEndToken[FrontEnd`InputNotebook[], {path, "Notebook"}] ]

Unfortunately this similar question's solution doesn't work for me. (Maybe its because I'm using linux?)

    $\begingroup$ Unless you just want to save the notebook to a different location, in which case NotebookSave is your function. $\endgroup$ Commented Jul 16, 2018 at 17:54

Expanding b3m2a1's comment...

path = "/home/conor/myNewNoteBook.nb"; NotebookSave[EvaluationNotebook[], path]

this can be made into a function, which can be auto loaded on start up, saving the user from having to use the mouse.
