hi,

I am using solaris10. I have to write a bourne shell script, which copies files for the said destination path which is passed as an argument to the script.

it looks like this

myscript.sh /var/test -->destination path

now i would like to know what is the maximum length i can given as the destination path here? what is the maximum a solaris accepts?

thans in advance.

These two commands may help you possibly:

getconf NAME_MAX .

getconf PATH_MAX .

thank you,

but i get this message when i execute the command i get a message like this.

# getconf PATH_MAX
usage: getconf [-v specification] system_var
getconf [-v specification] path_var pathname
getconf -a

Sorry, please add the . char after PATH_MAX.
