Shell Programming and Scripting

How to pass the input to the execution script

ex: test1.sh contains

#! usr/bin/sh

read val
echo $val

test2.sh contains

#! /usr/bin/sh

./test1.sh

now I am calling test2.sh thro command line

and I want to pass the input to the script test1.sh from test2.sh ..I mean not from the command line

Code:

#! /usr/bin/sh
 .  ./test1.sh

source test1.sh that is the leading dot surrounded by spaces.

I want to pass the value from second script to first script ...so the first script is asking input from the command line ..so I want to suppress this and
I have to pass the input through second script?

Code:

cat sample1

#!/usr/bin/ksh

#value1=90;
#value2=70;
if [ $1 -gt $2 ];
then
echo "$1 is normal"
else
echo "$2 is abnormal"
fi

cat sample2

#!/usr/bin/ksh

echo "Calling the first script"

. ./sample1 20 30

echo "called the script"

namish@france => ./sample2
Calling the first script
30 is abnormal
called the script
/home/intas/namish/shell

thanks for the suggestion ...but
ex:

cat sample1

#!/usr/bin/ksh

#value1=90;
#value2=70;

read val1
read val2

if [ $val1 -gt $val2 ];
then
echo "$val1 is normal"
else
echo "$val2 is abnormal"
fi

cat sample2

#!/usr/bin/ksh

echo "Calling the first script"

. ./sample1

echo "called the script"

now it will ask for the input for val1 and val2 ....thro command line ...instated of this ...the second script should read from the property file ...for the first script input

from here whts the logic to pass the value to val1 and val2 variable..
because I don't have permission to edit "sample1" script ..only I can call this script and do the manipulation from the other script.

I got the answer for my dout...find the solution

cat sample1

#!/usr/bin/ksh

#value1=90;
#value2=70;

read val1
echo "Val1 =" $val1
read val2
echo "Val2 =" $val2

cat sample2

#!/usr/bin/ksh

echo "Calling the first script"

sh sample1 << EOF
1
2
EOF

echo "called the script"

Output of the sample2 script is
Val1 =1
Val2 = 2

...now my dout is I want to use comment in b/w Redirecting input
i.e

sh sample1 << EOF
#Value of first parm
1
#Value of second parm
2
EOF

but the string is taking as an argument ...how can I achieve this?

expert suggestion is required!!!! waiting for the reply ....

Could you pls give us some suggestion on my query?????
