In one of my programs another process is called using the system command e.g.
lv_error = system("myproc");
where lv_error is declared as an int.
myproc would be returning 0 for success and 1 for failure. e.g.
if (success)
{
return(0);
}else{
return(1);
}
When the return code... (3 Replies)
My UNIX SA requires that we start in CSH. I like to use KSH because most of my experience is in that shell. I added ksh to the end of my .login script which does take me into KSH but I would like to automatically execute my .profile to setup my aliases.
I cannot use a .shell file because I... (1 Reply)
Hey guys,
Hopefully a simple question for you.
In csh I have an alias that looks like:
alias ff 'find . -name \!* -print'
and can therefore perform a search for a file by typing:
ff filename
The same comand does not work in ksh
alias ff="find . -name \!* -print"
I get:

I would like to understand why this... (4 Replies)

echo
echo(1B) SunOS/BSD Compatibility Package Commands echo(1B)NAME
echo - echo arguments to standard output
SYNOPSIS
/usr/ucb/echo [-n] [argument]
DESCRIPTION
echo writes its arguments, separated by BLANKs and terminated by a NEWLINE, to the standard output.
echo is useful for producing diagnostics in command files and for sending known data into a pipe, and for displaying the contents of envi-
ronment variables.
For example, you can use echo to determine how many subdirectories below the root directory (/) is your current directory, as follows:
o echo your current-working-directory's full pathname
o pipe the output through tr to translate the path's embedded slash-characters into space-characters
o pipe that output through wc -w for a count of the names in your path.
example% /usr/bin/echo "echo $PWD | tr '/' ' ' | wc -w"
See tr(1) and wc(1) for their functionality.
The shells csh(1), ksh(1), and sh(1), each have an echo built-in command, which, by default, will have precedence, and will be invoked if
the user calls echo without a full pathname. /usr/ucb/echo and csh's echo() have an -n option, but do not understand back-slashed escape
characters. sh's echo(), ksh's echo(), and /usr/bin/echo, on the other hand, understand the black-slashed escape characters, and ksh's
echo() also understands a as the audible bell character; however, these commands do not have an -n option.
OPTIONS -n Do not add the NEWLINE to the output.
