Remote copying in loops

Hi,
I had this doubt.
I have a script, say abc.sh, which does remote copying of files through rcp, after validating the destination machine, user and directory. It also does a checksum validation to verify if the file is being copied correctly.
Is it possible to call this script abc.sh in another script xyz.sh in a loop?
In xyz.sh, I get the list of files to be copied from a text file using

exec < /tmp/list.txt
while read lines
do

done

Can abc.sh be called within the above loop?

Hello,

Ofcourse you can call one shell script from another shell..
I will give an example for doing this

Let the following be your xyz.sh

Quote:

ls
abc.sh #calling second script
make sure that abc.sh is in the PATH file and executable...
You can also pass arguments like

abc.sh par1 par2

you can also return values from the called script.
