hi all,
was wondering if there is another way to do calculations in ksh scripts other than using bc ?? i am using a script to calculate average response time and my script errors out after running for a bit.

e.g code i am using :

averageTime=$(print "$totalTime / $numberOfEntries" | bc);

since the numbers are quite large i am guessing the script errors out due to that.


any suggestions on what else to use ??


thanks.

you can use ksh but it only supports integers. What do you mean by "errors out"? Do you have an error message?

averageTime=$(( totalTime / numberOfEntries ))

Try...

averageTime=$(echo "$totalTime $numberOfEntries" | awk '{print $1 / $2}' );
