Full Discussion: Sunsolaris shell script runs only as super user

pretty obvious:
Code:
ksh[line]: awk: not found

Your $PATH environment variable as normal user does not consist of the directory where your awk resides. What give "which awk" and "echo $PATH" as superuser? What gives "echo $PATH" as normal user? Add the missing dir to normal user's $PATH.
