In folder2 i have another script name's call_compress, if i want to call the "compress" script (to compress every folder in "folder1")from folder2, how i want to do that.
I try to write "/bin/sh /home/simonteh/folder1/compress" in the call_compress script ( but it doesn't work) Hope someone can will help me!!

Thank you very much

I would suggest you create a script to look in the folder list all the files and then call your compress script.

for dr in "/home/simonteh/folder1/compress"
do
compress "$dr"
done

How about this?. Add the following line call_compress code.

. /home/simonteh/folder1/compress

make sure there is a dot(.) in the beginning!

. /home/simonteh/folder1/compress not working as i want...coz the result is same... it will zip all the files at the folder where you call the script...

Post your scripts!

you have not exactly specified whats you'r other script doing! So, u better post ur script! and you will find better ans.

just write this line there in the script
"sh /home/simonteh/folder1/compress #arguments if any"
