ksh, because of its vi-cmdline editing mode, its reliable and stable job control (whoever had to deal with csh knows what i mean) and it's great programming language.

Zsh (which is somewhat related to Ksh) for interactive use is the most powerfull shell and usefull shell in that mode. I use sh and bash for shell scripting. I don't use zsh for shell scripting. --xiddaux P.S I'm not going to place a vote on this thread for obvious reasons. ![]() Last edited by xiddaux; 07-26-2005 at 08:00 PM.. |

I said, *my* reasons for preferring the Korn shell are: 1) a stable job control: it is reliable (and predictable) to create, handle and remove daughter processes (unlike in csh, IMHO), there is a coprocess facility (which the csh lacks); 2) a grat programming language: Korn shell has a very good, versatile and elegant programming (script) language built in, which I find in every respect better than the csh scripting language. 3) the vi cmdline editing mode: in Korn shell it is possible to switch to a vi-like way of dealing with the command history and repeat/modify commands. I like this behaviour much better than the (again: IMHO) rather clumsy "!" and "!!", ... the csh features. If you feel better with the csh (or any other shell): great, I have no problems with that. Still, I would like to point out, that I would greatly appreciate you having equally no problems with *my* decision about *my* working environments. Thanks. bakunin |
