Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi All,

I have a doubt with gawk. I have a shell script "cleanup" which calls a gawk script "cleanawk" in it.
we have two unix servers epsun532 and wpsun712. So i tested the script in both the environments.

In epsun532 while calling the gawk script i just mentioned something like this

code :

Code:

$more cleanup
#!/bin/ksh
..
..
gawk -f  cleanupawk filename
..
..
//This worked fine, gawk script got executed

In wpsun712 when i execute the same script. i get a error like

Code:

ksh: gawk:  not found

I just want to know how the gawk editor will work. Do we need to have this gawk editor in the environment??
Just need some info about how we need to have the gawk instance.

Thanks,
Diddy

"gawk" is not an editor. its a tool/language. You must have "gawk" available on your system just like any other commands.
Perhaps its not present ( not in PATH environment at least ) on your second server.
