Good source of AIX Specific Scripting?

Hi everyone,

I need to write some AIX scripts (ksh?), kind of fast so I'm looking for somewhere to get a crash course in it. Are there any AIX Specific Scripting resource sites that anyone can recommend, really not getting a whole lot from google.

Thanks in advance,

Darren

i've never seen one ... you're best bet is to get going on any kind of scripting in a shell that should be on all unix variants now (i.e., ksh works fine for me on aix, hp-ux, solaris, dg-ux, etc.) ... some people prefer to point new scripters to perl but i prefer ksh because it will also get you using the commands included in the OS by default ... and an SA who can't use the tools already included in the OS he's working on doesn't really know what he's working on ...

besides the only difference between an AIX ksh script that creates a new directory in /tmp 100 times and a Solaris ksh script doing the same thing is just where ksh itself is being accessed from (/usr/bin/ksh vs /bin/ksh) ...

good luck!

Not any more. In previous (well, *very previous*) AIX versions there was a different 16-bit and 32-bit ksh located in /usr/bin and /bin, but in newer AIX systems /bin is just a link to /usr/bin.

A good source for ksh scripting tips & tricks is www.shelldorado.com

Although not AIX specific I have found this site helpful:

I also browse and search this forum on a regular basis for ideas.
