I doubt you can switch the shell in the middle of a script.
Why do you want to switch ?
the shells have similiar constructs save for a few ones.
Anyway, you can compile the second part of the script as a new script which runs in bash and invoke that.
where
script-that-requires-bash is
If you export any variables in the ksh script, there is a chance that the inner script might not be able to see it. It depends on the way you invoke the ksh script.

Hello,
My firm has a requirement that everyone must use bash. Of course, there can be exceptions so I do not want to disable the other shells. But is there a way that I can prevent users from switching to another shell?
Thank you. (5 Replies)
I don't know why, but it just isn't working how I want it to work. You might want to run it to see what I mean. Or you might be a genius (or just really good at unix) and know just by looking at it what the problem is. Have fun trying to figure this one out.:wall: (11 Replies)
So in UNIX, I understand that there are several different shells you can be in: C, Bourne, Bourne Again, Korn, etc. I also know that you can write scripts for the shells, by assigning it by #!/bin/csh, or sh, etc.

shunit2
SHUNIT2(1)SHUNIT2(1)NAME
shunit2 - A unit test framework for shell scripts
SYNOPSIS
shunit2 unitfile
DESCRIPTION
shUnit2 is a xUnit unit test framework for Bourne based shell scripts, and it is designed to work in a similar manner to JUnit, PyUnit,
etc.. If you have ever had the desire to write a unit test for a shell script, shUnit2 can do the job.
You can either run shunit2 directly from the commandline and specify the unit file or directly source the shunit2 executable.
If you directly execute shunit2 and don't specify a unitfile shunit2 assumes a empty testfile and will return without an error message.
EXAMPLE
Simple script to test if 1 equals 1
#! /bin/sh
testEquality()
{
assertEquals 1 1
}
# load shunit2
. shunit2
Execute shUnit2 unit tests directly from the commandline
shunit2 /path/to/unit/file
OPTIONS
shunit2 does not support any commandline options at all. You can either source shunit2 to execute your unit tests or directly run shunit2
as a commandline script.
SEE ALSO
For more information see http://code.google.com/p/shunit2/ or have a look at the installed documentation in /usr/share/doc/shunit2/
