Hi Guys,
I have a shell script s1 calling another script s2 in a loop.
However s1 can not seem to continue the loop after s2 returns.
Commenting out the line that calls s2 will enable the loop to continue.
s2 does copy of one file, s1 checks conditions and copy several files using s2.
Can anyone give a pointer what is going on here?
...
while read line
s2 param1 param2 param3
echo "copy done"
done < $tempfile
echo "out of loop"
...
"copy done" is printed, so is "out of loop"
