Shell Scripting
Could someone tell me if a particular script is made for korn shell; can it be implemented on bash as well? I am just a beginner.

Most Korn shell scripts will also run under bash, but some ksh93 features are not supported by bash.

The best language to use is POSIX shell, so that scripts can be run by all POSIX shells, including ksh and bash.

Thank you!

Could you suggest a URL for downloading a pdf for POSIX?

All modern systems have a POSIX shell, so read the man page for sh and/or ksh and/or bash.

Here are some links to shell resources.
