Script not working with ksh

Hi

I am not able to execute a script with ksh. Its not giving any error too.
I have tried with absolute path
Code:
/usr/bin/ksh test.sh

.
Also checked path variable and all looks fine

It runs fine with sh.

OS is solaris 10.

Can you provide more details about what the test.sh script is expected to do ?

the problem is not related to a single script.

even if I run a script with echo hello , it doesnt not work with ksh.

So what says:
Code:
/usr/bin/ksh -xc "echo hello"

?

Code:
/usr/bin/ksh -xc "echo hello"

+ echo hello
hello

Code:
ksh test

is executing the ksh test built-in (which when given no operands produces no output but produces a non-zero exit status). Either rename you shell script to something other than test, or try executing it with:
Code:
ksh ./test

to invoke your script instead of the built-in with the same name.

You script is supposed to be named test.sh, not test.
