Error in calling a shell script from another script
HI,

We are using two shell scripts, script.sh,env.sh, where env.sh will be called inside script.sh. The variable inside env.sh is used as $var in script.sh.But while running the script its not identifying that variable. Is there any permission needed to call a script inside another script.

The script.sh will have something like
Code:
sh /path/env.sh
sh $var/runWF.sh

The script env.sh is having
Code:
export var=/rootpath

The error we got is
Code:
/runWF.sh not found

Please help

Thanks in advance
Priya
