I'm a she and a novice with the scripting, but I've been able to utilize it to create scripts that are helpful to me in managing my DB2's. It's mostly the type of stuff where I list the database directory and loop through the results to take some action (take an image copy, make a database configuration change, etc ). With help from others I've managed to learn just what I need to know in order solve particular problems and each time I look to solve a problem I learn a little more. I support DB2 across a variety of platforms including Redhat Linux on IBM z/Series, AIX on IBM P/series and some Redhat on x86 type hardware which is why I didn't list one even though it is a forum recommendation. I always like it if whatever I come up with will work the same across all the environments and I guess it may just be that our admins have installed support for multiple kernels on everything, but both of your solutions work great in all the places I tested. Lem, I like your solution because it felt like something I could easily understand and implement right away. I also appreciate what you offer bakunin because I don't exactly understand it and you took the time to really explain it so as I look up everything you did I think it will help me expand a little. I appreciate you both taking the time to educate!

ATF-SH(1)						    BSD General Commands Manual 						 ATF-SH(1)

NAME
atf-sh [-s shell] -- interpreter for shell-based test programs SYNOPSIS
atf-sh script DESCRIPTION
atf-sh is an interpreter that runs the test program given in script after loading the atf-sh(3) library. atf-sh is not a real interpreter though: it is just a wrapper around the system-wide shell defined by ATF_SHELL. atf-sh executes the inter- preter, loads the atf-sh(3) library and then runs the script. You must consider atf-sh to be a POSIX shell by default and thus should not use any non-standard extensions. The following options are available: -s shell Specifies the shell to use instead of the value provided by ATF_SHELL. ENVIRONMENT
ATF_LIBEXECDIR Overrides the builtin directory where atf-sh is located. Should not be overridden other than for testing purposes. ATF_PKGDATADIR Overrides the builtin directory where libatf-sh.subr is located. Should not be overridden other than for testing purposes. ATF_SHELL Path to the system shell to be used in the generated scripts. Scripts must not rely on this variable being set to select a specific interpreter. EXAMPLES
Scripts using atf-sh(3) should start with: #! /usr/bin/env atf-sh Alternatively, if you want to explicitly choose a shell interpreter, you cannot rely on env(1) to find atf-sh. Instead, you have to hardcode the path to atf-sh in the script and then use the -s option afterwards as a single parameter: #! /path/to/bin/atf-sh -s/bin/bash ENVIRONMENT
ATF_SHELL Path to the system shell to be used in the generated scripts. SEE ALSO
