pass path from one script into another

Frustin · 06-30-2014, 11:39 AM

in my bash script i have:

Quote:

sh /opt/path/to/dir/installproducts.sh

the contents of installproducts.sh:

Quote:

#!/bin/sh
php install_products.php all

When i run installproducts.sh within my script it says:

Quote:

Could not open input file: install_products.php

I can run it on the command line, just not in my bash script.

i'm assuming this is because the the full path of install_products.php isnt specified. The trouble is I can not do that as that script is not mine and is downloaded. I'm just trying to run it from my bash script. Is there a way around this please?

Probably something like this:

Code:

(cd /opt/path/to/dir/; sh ./installproducts.sh)

The parens indicate a subshell so it doesn't change directory in the main script.
