UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users

Well, mine is bash though i tend to use ksh a lot

]$ echo $SHELL

/bin/bash


]$ ps -p $$

PID TTY TIME CMD
2403 pts/1 00:00:00 bash

Bash and Korn are just fine.

I had to use Korn at my previous job at AT&T (they do not have to pay for it :-)

As much as I like to be "Born again" if I need to do floating point calculations, or if I want to build a data structure that links keys with values (you know, the key-index-record thing, ie hash table), I MUST use Korn, or Perl.

Sadly Bash cannot rise to that challenge.

I do not know why, maybe I am doing something wrong.

If you know how, please post an example here, with great thanks in advance.

Definitely ksh, especially the latest ksh93 release.

I use bash for everthing...

i don't really care, but if i have a choice, i usually choose bash.

I'm torn between bash and ksh.
Korn Shell is good. It is very good. But sometimes I am missing some advanced features of bash.
Bourne Again Shell is good as well. But sometimes I am missing some features of ksh.

In general I like bash more. A very little more.
