Passing control back to the shell script
Hi All,

I have a shell script(test_abc.sh) with the following shell commands, which are invoking the same shell script with different parameters.

test_abc.sh
Code:
. ./test.sh abc >> test.log
. ./test.sh xyz >> test.log
. ./test.sh pys >> test.log
. ./test.sh abc >> test.log
.
.

test.sh
Code:
if [ "$1" = "abc" ]; then
echo "found $1"
exit 0
else 
echo "not found $1"
exit 1

when i execute test_abc.sh .. i only get the following in the log

Code:
found abc

My motive is that all the shell commands in test_abc.sh are run and i get the status of each of them in the test.log. But it seems like 'exit 0' and 'exit 1' are not working in my favor and are logging me out. Request your expert help here.

Thanks in advance,
Dev
