I had a closer look at your script (before I only looked at the statements that you pointed out). The problem is that you are testing pflag but never setting it. Your statement when gathering options probably should be:
If I were writing the script, I would initialise it to zero, and specifically test for it being greater than zero which would work with the above code.
I also think that you need to quote your variables when testing using -n or -z within single brackets. For example:
I also prefer to specifically use -n when testing to see if a string (contents of a variable) has size:
even though the following might work in some shells:
Hi,
I am using korn shell.
until ]
do
echo "\$# = " $#
echo "$1"
shift
done
To the above script, I passed 2 parameters and the program control doesn't enter inside "until" loop. If I change it to until ] then it does work.

cat .servers | while read LINE; do
ssh jason@$LINE $1
done
exit 1
./command.ksh "ls -l ~jason"
Why does this ONLY iterate on the first server in the list? It's not doing the command on all the servers in the list, what am I missing?
Thanks!

Hi friends,
I have chopped my case statementt out of my .profile and put it in another script called setsid. The case statement works when run from my .profile but not from my setsid file.
