Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Invoke script within a script Post 67535 by mskarica on Wednesday 23rd of March 2005 08:42:19 PM

rebor's answer was on the money.

Its a script that is invoked upon the arrival of an email message, and processes some information. I would basically get an error message back where I sent the test email giving me errors that occured while the script tried to run.

I got one more question..........for today Smilie

Now I'm trying to invoke another script, but this script has parameters, and doesn't seem to work like the other script invokation, which didn't take any parameters. Maybe I need to double-check my code. But just in case, would i call the script the same way, without any quotes or anything?
Here is how I'm calling it at the moment:

/path/to/script $email_name $email_domain

Does this look right?

Thanks for your help.

NAME
script - make record of a terminal session SYNOPSIS
script [-a] [filename] DESCRIPTION
The script utility makes a record of everything printed on your screen. The record is written to filename. If no file name is given, the record is saved in the file typescript. See WARNINGS. The script command forks and creates a sub-shell, according to the value of $SHELL, and records the text from this session. The script ends when the forked shell exits or when Control-d is typed. OPTIONS
The following option is supported: -a Appends the session record to filename, rather than overwriting it. NOTES
script places everything that appears on the screen in filename, including prompts. ATTRIBUTES
See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes: +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ | ATTRIBUTE TYPE | ATTRIBUTE VALUE | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ |Availability |SUNWcsu | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ |CSI |Enabled | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ SEE ALSO
attributes(5) WARNINGS
script can pose a security risk when used in directories that are writable by other users (for example, /tmp), especially when run by a privileged user, that is, root. Be sure that typescript is not a link before running script. SunOS 5.11 30 Jan 2004 script(1)
