first, you have to add something like following in your awk script:
PATH=:/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin=$PATH export PATH and then make the permission on the script as 755 and then put in the /sbin folder and then when you need to call this script from another script, you should call it smething like: /sbin/<awk_script> <<<<<<You have to mention the absolute path to your awk script. lemme know if it works. ALSO if you come accross any other efficient workaround, then please do let me know.

Code:
#!/bin/bash echo "My Host script" echo "Calling AWK script..." /path/to/awk/script.awk #or try awk -f /path/to/script # or try awk -f /path/to/script /path/to/data/file.txt
