I have two shell scripts namely test1.sh and test2.sh
I have to call test2.sh from test1.sh
For test1.sh I need to pass one parameter as a command line argument
and for test2.sh I need to pass a parameter at the prompt.
Code sample:
$ cat test2.sh
echo "enter id value"
<br>read id
#do some processing here
How do I call test2.sh from test1.sh?
I can not edit test2.sh file here
if test2.sh is in the same directory, it's as simple as
file: test1.sh
#!/bin/sh
...
echo 5 | ./test2.sh
man read has the opening:
read -- read a line from standard input
perhaps you were just missing the dot slash ./, which is required for finding the script in the current directory. Alternatively, you can have your $PATH variable point to the folder containing test2.sh. Then ./ is not required.
in test1.sh
echo whatever | test2.sh
