Bug How to Run a script with in another script
Hi,
I am very new to shell scripting. I want to execute a script in another script in another script.

Consider a script xxx.sh and another script yyy.sh
I want to execute xxx.sh when running yyy.sh
YYY.sh is a file in which one of the lines of its script contains executing of xxx.sh

Any help appreciated

Thanks,
Prakash.

here is small example.I am calling test1.sh in test2.sh.
contents of file1

Code:
#test1.sh is the file name
echo "this is inner script"
echo "inner"

contents of file2
Code:
#test2.sh
echo "this is outer script"
echo "calling inner script..."
./test1.sh
echo "bach to outer"

run chmod command on test1.sh
chmod 755 test1.sh

now we will call test2 which in turn call test1.

sh test2.sh
