Hi,

What is the difference between invoking a bash shell script with "source ./scriptname" and ". ./scriptname". I thought both are same (to invoke the script in current shell). But when there is an exit statement, when the script is invoked with "source ./scriptname" exits the current shell where as the ". ./scriptname" did not.

Thanks
