This is as good a place as any. There is also the BASH and TUXPOWER areas
although they are low traffic.

Something like the ability to "call" another bat file in DOS and then the
calling bat file continues with what it was doing?

I am sure there is a way to do that in bash also but even after all these
years my bash skills are less than what they could/should be.

I sometimes do a test for certain files and if found the script will do that
with an "if", like this..

if [ -f /usr/local/fido/dotic.now ]; then
   rm /usr/local/fido/dotic.now
   /usr/local/bin/htick toss
   /usr/local/bin/mfreq-index
fi

Then the script carries on with what it is doing.
