Executing several bash scripts in succession
Hi,

I am new to shell programming. I am trying to automate setting up a network using several scripts. Some of the scripts require to reboot in order to continue with the setup. Is it possible to enter another script as soon as the system reboots. Also, if the last line of the script is bash "anotherscript.sh" will "anotherscript.sh" start up ?

Thanks in advance.

if you want to start a bash script between you pc reboot than you have to create or to move it in the right folder.
For Ubuntu is that
/etc/rc0.d/

you can also create it in your home directory an then create in the directory /etc/rc0.d/ a symbolic link


cd /home/user
touch bash.sh
cd /etc/rc0.d/
ln -s S01backup /home/user/bash.sh

I guess that's all!

Hi research3,

Thanks so much. But I dont understand it completely.

Suppose I have 2 scripts "1.sh" and "2.sh" and "1.sh" needs to restart then I should place "2.sh" in /etc/rc0.d/ .... Am I correct? .... and the last line in "1.sh" needs to be "bash 2.sh" ?

Thanks a lot
