I am new to bash shell scripting and I need guidance to write a bash script which will execute other multiple bash scripts or php scripts. If you can help me on this I will be very thankful.

  • @EduardoTrápani very basic stuff, like, echo, simple 'if else', simple 'function' etc

  • Having one script execute another is simply a matter of using the file name of the other script as a command - as long as its execution bit is set, and the file can be found. What is your problem with that?

  • Calling a external script is like calling echo. Just make sure the called scripts are either in the current path or you call them by full name _/path/to/script.sh.

Most basic example vi test.sh with content:

#!/bin/bash
./test2.sh

vi test2.sh with content:

#!/bin/bash
echo "hi there"

test.sh when executed will execute test2.sh (and expects it in the same path as test.sh).

  • Why use sh here? IMHO it would be better to ensure that test2.sh is executable and let its shebang take care of what interpreter to use
