o/p of that command is
/opt/IBM/yahoo/stop.sh
Unless you have an unusual version of ls, that output is impossible.
Anyway we now know that "yahoo" is a directory and that there is probably only one script and that it probably does not vary its location. Therefore we don't need to search.

Can the whole script be condensed to this? :
Code:
#!/bin/bash
/usr/bin/sh /opt/IBM/yahoo/stop.sh & ; PID=$?
/usr/bin/sleep 5
# Check whether we still have any background jobs
if [ -n "`jobs`" ]
then
     kill $PID
fi

script name will be the same but my location will differ based upon my input... that's why i made a search and find that exact file in the script.... i need to add some more stuffs also.... thanks for your solution ...
