Write script to call a file
Hello Experts,

I have been trying to work on to call a file in scripts.
Code:
@ECHO OFF
call %MY_HOME%\bin\setvars.bat
call %MY_HOME%\db\bin\start_db.bat.

This is a batch file and i want to write same functionality in shell script. How should I achieve it? How should I set variables in a script? I am not that much in linux and unix. I would like to know the mechanism though. Please share your ideas and suggestions. Thank you in advance.

Best regards.

Code:
.  $HOME/bin/set_vars.sh  # NOTE the preceeding dot and a space
$HOME/bin/start_db.sh

I don't think you want to stop echoing in UNIX shell, it is not exactly the same in UNIX
If you did you can redirect each command to "echo" into the bit bucket:
Code:
. $HOME/bin/set_vars.sh > /dev/null
$HOME/bin/start_db.sh >/dev/null


The other .bat files have to also be rewritten in shell also....
