Trigger Shell Script from Current Script
Hello all,

I'm new to shell programming and need some help. I would like to set up a step within a shell script to trigger another shell script to run, based on the highest return code generated in the current script. For example, if the highes return code value in the current script is less than 4, then trigger a subsequent shell script to run. I am running the Korn Shell on a unix platform. Can anyone suggest how I can do this?

Thanks,
Mark Smilie
