This can't work because the stems don't match: the target stem is
"/full_path/bin/stop_md_immed_sh", and so it tries to use a prerequisite
of "/full_path/bin/stop_md_immed_sh.ksh", which doesn't exist.
You can't use pattern rules unless the stems of the pattern match
EXACTLY, using a string match.

I don't quite understand what that means, but you'll have to write
something like this:
/full_path/bin/% : /full_path/src/%.ksh
...
If you can't do that you won't be able to use pattern rules.
