This depends on what you mean by "the rundig script." If you mean the 
script initially installed by ht://Dig, then yes. Many people also 
refer to "rundig" to mean their script that they run through a cron 
job. In this case, it depends on what you put in your script.

Put them (and any necessary commands) in one script. See, for 
example, my rundig.sh: <http://www.htdig.org/files/contrib/scripts/>
