Calling commands with ksh
Hi,

I am not able to run below command on linux, it however works on solaris. If anyone knows the reason and a solution for it can you please let me know ?

Linux
-----
Code:
$> ksh 'echo hi'
ksh: echo hi: No such file or directory
$> which ksh
/usr/bin/ksh

Solaris
------
Code:
$> ksh 'echo hi'
hi

Regards,
Krishna

Most shells expect to be given filenames when run in that fashion. The -c option tells it to run the following as literal script content. Try ksh -c 'echo hi'. Hopefully that should work fine on both.
