How to select Shell
We are using the line #!/usr/bin/ksh in the script, to run the script in ksh. If I have Bash shell and Ksh, how to select the shell to run the script during runtime?

Thanks in advace

Selecting Shell
put the path to the shell you want to use in the first line of the script. You quoted #!/usr/bin/ksh in your post. Based on this, to use say the cshell you would simply substitute #!/usr/bin/ksh with #!/usr/bin/csh
The same applies for whichever shell you want to use - you just have to know the path to it.

Thanks for your response.
I meant instead of using the line #!/usr/bin/Ksh in the script, we have to make the script to select the shell during runtime among different shells.
