Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi all,

I am trying to use a script (a.sh) which is calling another script(b.sh).
And I want to use the exit code(set by me) of b.sh in a.sh.
I am using this in b.sh

Code:

  
#!/bin/sh
<-- code -->
if [ "${ScriptStatus}" = "Ended_Successfully" ] ; then
        
        
                   exit 0
    else
            exit 1
    fi

But now my problem is that when b.sh is getting the exit 0 or exit 1, it is making the a.sh to exit too.
My understanding is that exit command in b.sh should only make b.sh to stop but it is making a.sh to stop too.
If not, Could you help me in achieving this by another method.

Thanks

What are you trying to achieve?

Is this code a.sh or b.sh?

Code:

#!/bin/sh
<-- code -->
if [ "${ScriptStatus}" = "Ended_Successfully" ] ; then    
    exit 0
else
    exit 1
fi

Regardless of which script this is (a or b), this will only affect the status exit of this script.
Please, post both scripts and a clear message of what you are trying to achieve.

In addition to what Aia said, please also tell us what operating system you're using. (The behavior of /bin/sh varies from system to system.)

Note also that showing us the following:

Code:

<-- code -->

instead of the actual code in your script leaves a LOT of things hidden that can materially affect the operation of both a.sh and b.sh.
