Question Passing parameter in background shell
Hi All,

i've a shell script, where it will run in the background, i'm using.
Code:
 system("sh $Home/S_SCRIPT/cck.sh $shell_dum_file &");

i'm passing a parameter $shel_dum_file to the background process.
In shell script , i'm using.
Code:
#!/bin/sh
FILE=$1
echo "FILE NAME- $FILE"

in output, i'm getting blank.

Please help,

1. Where do you run this command in command line or through a script.
2. Im aware that system command is used in awk but not sure in shell script. Where do you use this system command?
3. Or can you just run as..
Code:
sh $Home/S_SCRIPT/cck.sh "$shell_dum_file" &
