Korn Shell scripting...needs help!

[bengalliboy]

Greetings!
I am trying to execute one korn shell script through crontab, and scheduler. The crontab runs my script okay. The way it is set up is, the script is a korn shell script that basically calls another korn shell script.

When It is run, instead it doing what it is supposed to do on the 2nd script , it just prints the second script and quit.

Here is an example:
Script 1:
#!usr/bun/ksh
echo "Starting 2nd script..."
ksh MyScript.scr

Here is MyScript.scr
#!usr/bun/ksh
cat a b >c
echo "Done"
exit

When MyScript is executed it works okay that is cat a and b and puts in c
but when the script is run from script 1 it just prints the result....
What am I doing wrong?
TIA

I assume it's just a typo, but the first line of both scripts should be
#!/usr/bin/ksh

rather than
#!usr/bun/ksh

It's not clear what you mean by "...just prints the second script..." but I suspect a PATH issue. In script1, try using a fully qualified path to call Myscript.scr.

Thanks...
Path is fine...what I meant by print is , it just display the script itself in the log , that is:

cat a b >c >log
echo "Done"
exit

but when I run it , it concatinate the both files.
