Script_A.sh has
echo "In am in script A"
ksh ## K-shell is invoked.
Script B.sh ## which I am writing...
./script_A.sh
echo "I am in script B"
return 0
When I run:
$> Script_B.sh
$> I am in script A
$>
Basically, on calling Script_A.sh from within Script_B.sh I have the issue of the spawned K-shell. I can't change Script_A.sh as it's NOT owned by me. What's my alternative here, I need Script_B.sh to perform the next set of commands I execute AFTER I've run Script_A.sh...
A dirty solution would be to copy the contents from Script_A.sh and write it into Script_B.sh - but that's dirty.
Please expland the question with example scripts showing input, processing and output (including any directory listings) such that you question is clear.
One option is to temporarily close standard input, then the ksh has nothing to read from:
otherwise, something like:
While these work for the example you've shown, I'm guessing they might have a bad effect on script_a.sh (especially the first) - so not really a solution.
If you type "exit" when you get to this point:
then script_b.sh will continue:
Also not ideal.
I would find whoever wrote script_a and ask him what he was thinking! Or better, why not copy script_a to script_c, remove the ksh and call that from script_b?
