grep: not found
Hi,

running below korn shell script

Code:
#!/bin/ksh
chk_dump()
{
CNT=`ls *.dmp|grep $DATE|wc -l`
if [$CNT -gt 0]; then
echo "delete_dumpfile"
else
echo "start_exp"
fi
}
 
chk_dump


getting below error:

Code:
./test1.sh[3]: wc: not found
./test1.sh[3]: ls: not found
./test1.sh[3]: grep: not found
./test1.sh[4]: test: ] missing


is there something missing ?

What is output of this..?

Code:
echo $PATH

I think you have changed its value.

Code:
if [ $CNT -gt 0 ]; then

test conditions' square brackets should be spaced properly like above...
