Trigger with condition
If test.ksh is successful then I have a sequence of script which needs to execute automatically. Is it possible to capture the return code to execute the next script automatically? what is better way of doing this.

check the return code of the script

Code:
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
execute the other scripts
else
stop here
fi

test.ksh is not a single cmd to check previous cmd is executed or not and trigger the remaining script it is about bunch of 100 lines script. Consider test.ksh as a job. If status the job is successful then trigger the other script.

There may be many ways to do it..
Let the first script write a log into a file and when it ends successfully, let it write something like "script successful" or "script failed".

Use a while loop in the other script check the file and see if it has success or failure in the logs. If it greps for a sucess, let it end the loop and start running the rest of the code.
or else exit the script.

I don't know if this works for you but you can try :
Code:
firstscript.sh && secondscript.sh
