UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

Hi,

Test1.ksh
#! /bin/ksh
for i in $*
do
#echo "$i"
ksh test2.ksh $i &
done


test2.ksh
#! /bin/ksh
sleep 5s
echo "From Test 1 ==> $1"
exit 0;


I am executing as follows:
ksh test1.ksh a b c

Output is:
From Test 1 ==> a
From Test 1 ==> c
From Test 1 ==> b

After printing the last line its expecting the user to press the enter key to exit. Else its not quitting. How to quit that automatically ??

thanks in advance

use exit 1; at your functions' ends

Tired that too... Its not working .. It is expecting the user to press the enter key to exit back to the shell prompt.....

exit 0 <- will only work if error is encountered

Even without eixt its not working..

One thing you can do is this:

ksh test2.ksh $i > <filename> &

Re-direct your output to some other filename will solve the problem you mentioned but I don't know if this works for you..

cheers

thanks .. thats working ..

is there any other solution .. coz i may have a requirement like output should be displayed on the screen .. In that case your solution will not work ..
