Shell Script Display?

wmosley2 · #1 (**permalink**) 12-12-2003

I remember learning that there is a way to make a shell script display the script itself to standard output while the script is being executed but I can't find how to do that. Any pointers?

ksh -x yourscript

use 'set -x on' at the begining of the programme.
And 'set -x off' at the end of the programme.
