Hello experts,
please help me on this.
This is the scenario:
I have applications like BigBrother,PowerKeeper/PowerBroker etc.. which I have to install during server build for both AIX and Solaris. I already have separate installation scripts for both OS for all applications. Now, I want to merge these separate script (e.g. bigbrotheraix.ksh and bigbrothersolaris.ksh into a single bigbrotherunix.ksh)

From one of my script "installer.ksh", (menu to select the desired application from so many other applications). your above wrapper works fine to select either solaris or aix using 'uname'. I will put this wrapper at the top of installer.ksh script to select OS and print message:: print "you have selected $OS box to install your application. Please select from the menu below to install $OS compatable application"
now when an item is selected from the menu,I should be able to go to the single script containing both solaris and AIX scripts (e.g. bigbrotherunix.ksh) and select solaris part of the script if that turns out to be a solaris box.

thanks for your attention.
