Shell Programming and Scripting

I am using Ksh

*sigh*

this is only half the necessary information: there is Korn shell 88 and Korn shell 93 and they differ in some respects (ksh93 has some features ksh88 has not). Which one are you using? And while you are at it: the name and version of the OS sometimes also matters, so you better [i]always[/i state this information ideally at the top of any new thread.

Hi

Would you please let me know how do i find out the type ksh on Server?

Thanks in advance

Post the o/p of below commands:

Code:

uname

Code:

ksh --version

bipinajith was a bit carefree here:

Which OS:

Code:

uname -a

Some OSes (HP-Ux, Solaris) will show the version too this way, some have other commands for this:

Which ksh-version:
I am not sure if every ksh version understands this - the AIX version doesn't, for instance. The "--" to introduce worded options is a Linux speciality and not common everywhere. What is guaranteed to work is:

Code:

print - ${.sh.version}

or

Code:

set -o vi
<ESC><^V>

I hope this helps.
