In your line the ksh shell script doesn't understand "mv" command.


Any advise on this?


Thanks for contribution

OK, I changed

Code:
"mv" to 
mv $tmpf $CONTROLFILE

Now ot works.

Thanks a lot for your help


Thanks a lot for your help
I have no idea what you're talking about!

The code I gave you didn't have mv in double quotes.

If you're saying you removed double quotes from the arguments to mv as in:
Code:
mv $tmpf $CONTROLFILE

instead of:
Code:
mv "$tmpf" "$CONTROLFILE"

you have made the code much less safe. And, making it less safe has absolutely nothing to do with ksh finding mv!!!

One might guess that you're using a WYSIWYG pretty-printing editor of some sort instead of using a text editor that uses ASCII letters and quoting characters that are required when producing shell scripts.

Please do the following:
  1. Tell us WHAT operating system (name and release number) are you using?
  2. Tell us WHAT shell (name and version) are you using?
  3. Tell us WHAT editor are you using to produce your shell script?
  4. Show us the exact text that is included in your shell script (in CODE tags)!
