How to call another bash script to run on a subfolder?
 

I want my bash script to run scripts located on a different folder. If it is also located on the same folder with my script, it will go like this:

on my $HOME folder: (this_script.sh, backup.sh, restore.sh, purge.sh)

#!/bin/bash
./backup.sh
./restore.sh
./purge.sh

But what if, on my $HOME folder: (this_script.sh)
$HOME/scripts folder: ( backup.sh,restore.sh, purge.sh )

Below doesn't work...
#!/bin/bash
./$HOME/scripts/backup.sh

what the proper script for this? thanks in advance..

There is a space between dot and slash.

You can try this if you want to specify interpret the script with specific shell. for example bash shell

The dot is merely a reference to where you are. All executable files not in your PATH need to be specified via the path to the script / executable:
All of the above will run the chosen file.

You don't need ./$HOME.

If you are in $HOME
If you want to call it from anywhere, specify the full path
Ensure that being called from random dirs doesn't confuse the script itself.
You might want to consider cd'ing to a known dir at the start of the script.
NB: the 2nd example only works if you are logged in as the correct user (ie owner of $HOME).
Otherwise, use a specific full path eg

Thanks for your help guys! well appreciated!
