the shell is an "interface" between the user and the system. if you've a ksh on your hp-ux you can write and use this scripts. if not, just install ksh.

I would even use ksh as default shell... (/usr/bin/ksh in /etc/passwd for your account)
just a remark:
since HPUX11i the default /usr/bin/sh - is not the original bourne shell:
ant:/home/vbe $ ll /sbin/sh
-r-xr-xr-x 1 bin bin 417792 Dec 15 2007 /sbin/sh # this is bourne
ant:/home/vbe $ ll /usr/bin/sh
-r-xr-xr-x 2 bin bin 208896 Dec 15 2007 /usr/bin/sh # this is the posix shell

On HPUX see: man sh
This help lists the shells available ... including ksh.
Then: man ksh

To force a script to run in ksh, the very first line must be:

#!/bin/ksh


Don't forget the "#" .


(Before anybody posts a correction ... /usr/bin/ksh and /bin/ksh are hard links to the same inode).
