Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi all,

I need to call some script (s1) from within my shell script (s2). s1 accepts parameters and I want to feed it with values of params from my script. I tried many things but none work (I am so much of a beginner), please help

one of my attempts :
.
.
.
param1="hehe"
param2="haha"

s1
echo -e "\r"
echo $param1
echo $param2

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PS: when I run s1 from command prompt (not from shell I do the following and it works)
>s1 ; I press return key
>enter value of param1: hehe ; I enter hehe then return key
>enter value of param2: haha ; I enter haha then return key

-------------------------------------------------------------------

hi,

please make your requirement a bit clear so that we may able to help you in writting the script.

Oh I'm sorry

I am trying to write a script (s1.sh) which calls another script that I didn't write (s2).

Usually I run s2 from the command line as:

> s2 param1=val1 param2=val2 param3=val3

how do I call s2 from my shell script s1.sh and specifiy the values of the parameters?
I hope I am more clear now, thanks for the help in advance

hi,

you can simply call the script s2 in the script s1.sh by simply mentioning

./s2.sh inside the script s1.sh

if your script s2.sh works fine on the command prompt then you will get the desired output.

thanks,

Actually I tried that before and it didn't work either
I don't know the extention of s2. All I know that it's an executable now

Help

Have You tried

./s2.sh $param1 $param2

then they will be available as $1 and $2 in s2.sh

Ok. I just found out that s2 is prolly written in fortran because there are files on my machine as s2.f and s2.o
is it possible to call it from my script at all?
