Hey, can you please tell me what does ksh -c do ? (or give some examples)

PIPESTATUS is only availablein bash and not in ksh.

I switched my shell to ksh and then executed:

/usr/bin/bash -c "echo ${PIPESTATUS[*]}" but that did not work.

Thanks porter !

(On 2nd thoughts it might not be a good thing to rely on a specific shell feature, hmm.. I guess I will have to write my own C program to implement PIPES (I am trying but its driving me crazyy, I shall post my queries soon :P )
