Anyone ever seen this? Someone mentioned this the other day....
If you do, for instance, in korn shell, echo $(5.2+2.5), it gives the result of 6 regardless.
Can't remember why but it was the limitation of the korn shell.
The command echo $(5.2+2.5) only prints 6 if you have a utiiity named 5.2+2.5 that prints 6. When I run that command on my system, I get the diagnostic:
If:
prints 6 for you, what does the command:
print?
With a 1993 or later version of the Korn shell, the command echo $((5.2+2.5)) (note the double sets of parentheses) prints 7.7. With an earlier version of the Korn shell, the results are probably similar to what you get giving that command to bash; a diagnostic something like:
hi,
I have this script which gives me the result...
#! /usr/bin/sh
set -x
cd /home/managar
a=1
while true
do
if
then
echo " File log.txt exists in this directory "
exit 0
fi
echo " File has not arrived yes..."
sleep 3
let a=a+1
if
