    SO I HAVE TRIED TO EXECUTE THE PRIMARY SCRIPT AS:

    codesh ./Primary.sh[/code]

    THE SNIPPET(I AM INTERESTED IN) WITHIN THE SHELL SCRIPT IS PLACED HERE:
    code
    1. Include the Utility script for the required functions
    utilDir=/compass/dir/script [i]---- LINE 6[/i]
    . $utilDir/secondary.sh [i]---- LINE 7[/i]
    . $utilDir/secondary1.sh [i]---- LINE 8[/i]
    [/code]

    BUT WHEN EXECUTED THE FOLLOWING LOG IS GENERATED:
    code
    ./Primary.sh[7]: pts: not found.
    ./Primary.sh[8]: pts: not found.
    [/code]
    PLEASE ADVICE WHETHER THIS IS A SYNTACTICAL ERROR OR OTHERWISE.

    What is the current working directory at the point your script is trying to "include" the secondary script. The syntax "./scriptname" means find the file in the current working directory. Perhaps you're not in the directory you expect. You could debug this by echoing the value of `pwd`.
