How to execute several lines into a .txt I am using SSH; In a folder I have the next files: -rwxrwxr-x 1 german german 48 Apr 29 10:45 prueba.txt -rwxrwxr-x 1 german german 23 Apr 29 10:43 script1.sh -rwxrwxr-x 1 german german 23 Apr 29 10:45 script2.sh cat script1.sh echo "Test 1: $(date)" cat script2.sh echo "Test 2: $(date)" cat prueba.txt bash /home/german/script1.sh bash /home/german/script2.sh but when … `cat prueba.txt` only execute the first line “script1.sh” Test 1: Wed Apr 29 10:48:48 COT 2015 How can I execute more than one line in a txt file?

@Costas - good answer!

And since they're sh scripts,

sh /home/german/prueba.txt

will work, as well.

And, BTW, this was supposed to be a comment (isn't that what Add Comment is supposed to do?)
