A file or directory in the path name does not exist.

I was going thru the 'security and users' portion of smit, and set a particular user's role to 'manage all users' and 'manage all user passwords'. This does not seem to help.

Thanks,

Thanks for all who answered.

The whole point of this script is that none of us are very good with UNIX here. I am entrusted with a system that I am trying to learn. I know how to change user...

Thanks so much. I tried it and it works fine. I am getting a Korn Shell book (Possibly by O'Reilly) in a few days (when it has to go thru purchasing dept, it might take a few days). I have put in...

When I tried the "do" statement, I received an error message.
What is the right way of coding a function? I am going to Barnes & Nobles today to look for a korn shell book, but in the mean time can...

If I do that, would it come back to where it was after execution of the paragraph like a "do" statement? I really would like to do something like a "perform" statement in cobol.

Thank you.

my_function
else
echo...

Thank you.

In Korn Shell, can you use "go to" statements? Would you then put paragraph names with a colon?

For example,

would you specify "goto para1" and then have the paragraph with the label para1:?...

Unfortunately (or fortunately), we don't have tombstones! We get cremated! So, I guess whatever I have to say would be cremated with me! :D

My conclusion is that all the manuals, help routines...
