Why don't you just create a shell script and call it via exec as demond sugested?

if [exec] is rocket science to you, give up on it and try something easier

I wonder what exactly is it that you didn't understand

[exec] is not your Unix shell, it doesn't support redirection in the form of 2>&1 (it supports redir, but its syntax/semantics is a bit different)

so either try without it, or exec bash and pass the command with redir to it

The first '.' (dot) after the quote is for? I only said quotes.

I searched already, didnt find so posting

I need to know how can i make one bot startup another one which is in a different directory.

Please dont tell me to use contrab because i do not want the contrab to check it every some minutes and then start. I want to start another bot only as a result of some specific action.

I have tried this,

Code:

catch {exec /home/otherbot/scripts/botchk >/dev/null 2>&1}

It does not work.

Any suggestions ?
