Do not allow a script to run individually
Hi All,

I am having two scripts say scriptA.ksh and scriptB.ksh.

The scriptB.ksh should be executed only if it is called from scriptA.ksh. If someone tries to execute it individually from command prompt, the script should exit gracefully with appropriate message.

Any workarounds?

Thanks in advance.
