How do I "include" text in a script ?

[Tison]

I have a batch Korn script that runs nightly via cron.
When it runs, I want it to "include" or read in text from another script.

You can execute commands in another script simply calling it... if you want to "define" functions or aliases in the child script then you must to execute the commands in the same environment... how you do that? If you are in the Bourne Shell, the Korn Shell or Bourne Again Shell (sh,ksh,bsh) you must to use
[tt]
. /name/of/script
[/tt]

If you are in the C Shell or derivatives like TCSh you must to use
[tt]
source /name/of/script
[/tt]

I hope it works...

If you call...
<path>/myscript.sh < /tmp/myinput
then this will read input...
alternatively if they both run at once you could create a pipe from one to the other...
<path>/myfirstscript | <path>/myusingscript.sh
