Full Discussion: Syntax Error in AIX but working in UX
Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Syntax Error in AIX but working in UX Post 302961938 by Don Cragun on Sunday 6th of December 2015 11:36:43 PM

What is UX? What shell were you using on UX? And what version of that shell were you using on UX?

What shell are you using on AIX? And what version of that shell are you using on AIX?

The diagnostic you showed us says the error is on line 80 in your script, but you have shown us much less than 80 lines.

If looks like you are defining a function MENU_INTRO() and inside that function definition you are defining another function onstat_p(). Standard shell syntax doesn't allow a function to be defined inside another function.

rdate(1M)                                                 System Administration Commands                                                 rdate(1M)

NAME

       rdate - set system date from a remote host

SYNOPSIS

       rdate hostname

DESCRIPTION

       rdate sets the local date and time from the hostname given as an argument. You must have the authorization solaris.system.date on the local
       system. Typically, rdate is used in a startup script.

       The inetd daemon responds to rdate requests. To enable inetd response, the lines invoking the time command in inetd.conf must not  be  com-
       mented out.

USAGE

       The rdate command is IPv6-enabled. See ip6(7P).
