I can tell you that in ksh there are some minor differences between Sun and HP-UX.
On Sun you will have no problem doing:
Code:
if [ -z $VAR ]
but on HP-UX you will have to put double quotes around $VAR.
Also when doing a string comparison, on Sun you can do
Code:
if [ "${ErrorOccurred}" == "Y" ]
but on HP-UX, you can't have the double equals.
There are probably more, but those are a couple I can think of off the top of my head.
if you stick to having double quotes around variables and using only 1 "=" sign for shell tests, you will not notice any difference on the shell scripts aside from the OS-specific external commands ... if you want a portable script that does the same thing on different platforms, have the script check for the OS and then put in the OS-specific command lines as required ...
Code:
OS=`uname`
case $OS in
SunOS) admintool ;;
AIX) smit ;;
*) echo "etcetera, etcetera, etcetera..." ;;
esac
