I usually just type the name of the script that you want to run next as the last line of your first script.....

for instance ..
1st script called one says this date > todaysdate
2nd scripts called two says grep 01 todaysdate
3rd script called three says ls /etc/fileneame

i would put the following single script called all together

./one
./two
./three
that should start all three scripts one after another.

Thanks for the reply.
I will try it out.

Your cron entry could also read:

0 * * * * /home/you/script1; /home/you/script2; /home/you/script3
