Hi bakunin,

Thanks a lot for your guidance & explanation.

I have about 20 script files & all of them begins with "#!/usr/bin/ksh", this means its "The Korn shell".

I don't have access to the unix server as its on my client place & I just have to work on the test of the scripting part.

In order to find the meaning of all the commands & other things line variables, functions etc, please let me know what should i search on internet (some key words etc which can help me to quickly find these cmds etc).

Thanks again Smilie
