KSH : Disable -x option
I have a KSH script. I want NO-ONE to call it with -x option.

example : ksh -x /appl/u001/test_it_out.ksh

Is there a way to know, from with in script, that they invoked the script with -x option. So that I can exit when they invoke it with -x option.

please help.

Yes....

Code:
$ cat vangaru.ksh
#! /bin/ksh

case $- in
  *x*) echo "Invoked with -x" && exit 1
         ;;
esac

echo "Is okay...."

exit 0
$ ksh ./vangaru.ksh
Is okay....
$ ksh -x ./vangaru.ksh
+ echo Invoked with -x
Invoked with -x
+ exit 1

Cheers

Or you could use "set +x" as your first statement. Bear in mind that anyone who can execute the script can read it. So they can copy it and remove this code, then run the copy.
