bourne shell or korn shell? - UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

XZOR · #1 10-05-2006

Hi,
I have a script that uses "nohup" command to execute a korn shell script. Which one is the correct shell to use bourne shell or korn shell to execute a korn shell? and why?

Thanks in advanced.

if you want to execute a korn shell script, use korn shell to execute it. If you use bourne shell to execute a korn shell script, you may get syntax errors since some korn shell syntax differs from bourne shell.

Use at the first line of the korn script
#!/bin/ksh

and then you can run this script from sh
