Hello everybody, I am wondering how to call a shell script into another script if you are working in a same directory? Please provide examples if possible

Hi Amrish If you want to call a shell script inside a script , You can directly enter the script filename at the place where you want to execute. For eg fileA.sh ======== echo "Inside File A" file2.sh ======== echo "Inside File B" If you want to call file2.sh inside file1 do the following fileA.sh ======== echo "Inside File A" file2.sh But file2.sh must have execute permission or use sh Have a nice day Sunil

There is also: exec fileB.sh or . ./fileB.sh There are times when difference invocations are appropriate. The first example may be appropriate for a menu system where you don't want scripts calling another script from within your shell. You end up with many child shells. The second example is good for when you have a script that contains a bunch of variables that you want to maintain separate from your script. When you source them in, they become visable to your script and can be used for further processing.
