Kerry, When you write a shell script you can specify which scripting language you want in the first line of the file.
This is often called the "hash bang" line because it could be: #!/bin/sh # this line is a comment unlike the previous line echo blah exit So there is no need to call one script from another - in fact you may find other problems. Maybe the CLUG could have a preso about scripts one Tuesday evening ?
