Run bash script within a bash script

Hi everybody,

Lets say, I have two bash scripts named down.sh and up.sh located in two different folders named ~/home/a/ and ~/home/b/

Now I want to write another bash script, located in ~/home/ which runs these other two scripts, so that I only have to execute this one comprehensive script in my linux console.

How do I do that?

Thanks a lot for any help.
