calling script

c00kie88 · #1 (**permalink**) 10-11-2008

Hi all,

The scenario is:

1. I created a script called hello
2. i created another script called blah which meant to use "hello" script.

How do i do it?

e.g. "blah" script
#!/bin/sh

test = /home/blah/hello

echo "please enter name"
read name
test $name

is it correct ? or i should put ./test $name instead?

almost, you want:

Code:

$test $name
