calling a script from a level above where the script resides

SummitElse · #1 (**permalink**) 10-25-2007

is there anyway to call a script that executes a script on the same level from a higher level

i.e.

level1/level2/ kp1script kp2script

kp1script (./kp2)
kp2script (echo "Hi world")

level1/level/2/level3/ ../kp1script
../kp1script: ./kp2script: not found

cheers in advance (the scripts actually contatin menus)

cheers in advance

Yes, but you would need either to put that directory on the PATH or use the appropriate .. or whatever to point to the correct directory containing kp2script. You could change the PATH and have the change only local to the running of your script of course.

hi porter yeah I understand that but we are trying to avoid using relative paths
