run a script from another script

[hussa1n]

I have a 2 bash scripts script_a & script_b

how do i make the script_b to run from script_a

I here is my example of script_a

#!/bin/bash
pkill process
/home/user/script_b

but this thing doesnt work. Any suggestions regarding this?

2 suggestions
1. pkill process &
2. make sure script_b is executable--can you run it yourself?

[hussa1n]

yes the script_b is executable and it works fine when I run it.
what is the use of having '&' at the end of pkill process?

when I run the script_a the process is being killed and I get a message 'terminated' but the script_b doesnt run.

Is is because '&' is missing along with 'pkill process'

[tpl]

the ampersand '&' tells the shell to run the process
in the background, and return immediately to whatever
comes next.

what is script_b?

Hi Dude,

pkill process

May I know what is the process ??
suggestion; may be you can run the script_b first and then you can call pkill ..
I guess process could be your script_a (if not plz ignore)
