Shell Programming and Scripting

Yes my shell is KSH.

Did any one know why I am getting this error. my cnt is 0 and maxcnt is 10.
Do help me out.

Please don't bump up your post. It's a violation of the rules.

Run your script as such:

ksh -x scriptname

And then post the results back.

Sorry for Bumping the post

My script is as follows
MYDIR=$1
cd $MYDIR

echo $MYDIR
for file in `ls *.txt`
do
echo $file

while (true)
echo 111
do
echo 222
pscnt=`ps -ef|grep "invokeScript.ksh"|grep -v "grep"|wc -l`
if ( pscnt < MAXCNT )
then
echo 333
invokeScript.ksh $USERID $PASSWD $InstanceId $file &
fi
break
done

done

And response after I used ksh-x is as follows

In original script I had declared MAXCNT
and I didn't get the third point

ok. Did you define your script as a /bin/ksh script?

Code:

 for file in `ls *.txt`
