Excuting Multiple shell files in sequesnce
Hi,

I have two shell scripts each executing a java process independently. These are two independent processes and I need to sequence them using another shell script. What I did was created another shell script and called these independent shell scripts in it.

It runs fine, however from time stamping it seems both of them are running simultaneously. Second process didn't wait for the 1st one to end.

I need to sequence these processes. 2nd one should start only when 1st one is finished.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!!

If you have

a
b
c

they will run sequentially

if you have

a &
b &
c &

they will run in parallel.

In the third file if you are calling your scripts as-

sh file1
sh file2
------
------

it will run sequentially

Thanks,
Namish
