Operating Systems HP-UX Why Bash is not working in HP-UX ? Post 302441096 by fpmurphy on Thursday 29th of July 2010 09:33:07 AM

Bash is not installed on HP-UX by default. Also bash is not officially supported, you will not get help from HP Support if problems with it arise. f you do install bash, make absolutely sure that you do not change the default shell for root. The root shell must be /sbin/sh. If it is anything else you could make your system unbootable.

If you really want to go ahead and install bash, you can find a binary here: Porting And Archive Centre For HP-UX

NAME
shells - shell database SYNOPSIS
/etc/shells DESCRIPTION
The shells file contains a list of the shells on the system. Applications use this file to determine whether a shell is valid. See getuser- shell(3C). For each shell a single line should be present, consisting of the shell's path, relative to root. A hash mark (#) indicates the beginning of a comment; subsequent characters up to the end of the line are not interpreted by the routines which search the file. Blank lines are also ignored. The following default shells are used by utilities: /bin/bash, /bin/csh, /bin/jsh, /bin/ksh, /bin/pfcsh, /bin/pfksh, /bin/pfsh, /bin/sh, /bin/tcsh, /bin/zsh, /sbin/jsh, /sbin/sh, /usr/bin/bash, /usr/bin/csh, /usr/bin/jsh, /usr/bin/ksh, /usr/bin/pfcsh, /usr/bin/pfksh, /usr/bin/pfsh, and /usr/bin/sh, /usr/bin/tcsh, /usr/bin/zsh. Note that /etc/shells overrides the default list. Invalid shells in /etc/shells may cause unexpected behavior (such as being unable to log in by way of ftp(1)). FILES
