how to execute binaries located in a different directory
 

Hello , i am a newbie in writing unix scripts:

I have a file with a list of arguments like:
./a arg1 arg2 arg3
./b arg1 arg2 arg3
.
.
.
./n arg1 arg2 arg3

but these binaries (a,b,..etc) are in a different sub directory from where the above file is located. How do I write a script that will pick up each line from the file and execute it.

Something like this (substitute "my/xyz/dir" for your actual path):
There are many more - and much more elaborate - things you can do. But I hope this gets you started in the right direction.

Thanks so much... that was helpful :)
