Paula, that mob is having you on. If they know even the most 
basics of Unix shell scripting, they should be using the comment
convention as the first line of any of their scripts.  As in:

#!/bin/csh

to make their code run in the C-shell NO MATTER what your shell might be.
If they don't do that and expect you to use their shell, get on to them 
quick and as heavy as you can.  That's just unacceptable in this day and 
age.

I used the bourne shell for scripting almost exclusively until
very recently.  I'm now using Korn shell, even in Linux where
it is not installed by default and bash seems the way to go.

Here's a snippit from my ~/.kshrc, which kinda-sorta approximates bash's default 
behavior.  Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be any way to bind TAB for filename 
completion in ksh88. :-(  Apparently ksh93 can handle this, but it isn't available on 
any of the servers I support.

set -o emacs
alias __A=`echo \020` # up arrow = ^p = back a command
alias __B=`echo \016` # down arrow = ^n = down a command
alias __C=`echo \006` # right arrow = ^f = forward a character
alias __D=`echo \002` # left arrow = ^b = back a character
alias __H=`echo \001` # home = ^a = start of line
alias __Y=`echo \005` # end = ^e = end of line

The few bash scripts I've done would work the same if they were headed with
#!/bin/ksh.  If I need to get complex, I typically pop off a pearl of a
Perl.

Whoops...as I check on my scripts at home I see they're all headed with
#!/bin/sh.  Oh well.  :)

So do you use bash for interactive or to write scripts? 
 The trap many
 fell into (and apparently still fall into) is that cshell is 
 excellent for
 interactive work, but isn't so great for scripting. That is 
 the power of
 korn, a friendly interactive face and a powerful scripting 
 capability. I'm
 just asking because I have a feeling I'll wind up on Linux some day.

Concerning pdksh: Unless it has been fixed (and I don't think it has), it is
too buggy to be used for scripting.  If you are going to download and
install ksh, get The Real Thing.

If you have way too much time on your hands and want a monster shell -- the
biggest of them all, get zsh; it's strictly for certified geeks as evidence
by your consumption of Twinkies and Mountain Dew.

This introduces a different shell environment in our current environment.  I find this

Re: for years I have been using korn shell

2003-11-10 Thread Mladen Gogala
I think you should make an issue, because Korn Shell (/bin/ksh) is de-facto
standard and the vendor should deliver either both shells (Korn and C) or
only Korn. Allegedly, bash can assume both personalities, but if you need
to modify the script, you need it to have it in Korn Shell language. Of course,
the best thing to have would be an install script having #!/usr/bin/perl -w
on the first line, but it would be too much to ask, wouldn't it?
BTW, my spelling checker is offering the word Koran for as a correction
of the word Korn.

If you want to change your shell, just enter the name of the shell on the
command line and press return.  You will spawn a new session in that shell.
To revert to your previous shell, just exit the same as you would to end
your current session.

HTH,

I have been working with Oracle on Unix - various platforms since Version
6.X.
For the first time a vendor has sent us an install that installs under the
C-shell.
Up until this point I have always worked on and installed under the korn
shell.

This introduces a different shell environment in our current environment.  I
find this really annoying.  However, I cannot find anything that stipulates

We are using Korn and I have for years used C, borne etc. Now we are converting all to 
use Perl so we can only have one set of scripts to support over other platforms.. I 
supposed its a good Idea but like you I hate to keep changing when you are at expert 
level at one and have to start over.

RE: for years I have been using korn shell

2003-11-10 Thread Jesse, Rich
For Linux, I use bash.  For Unix (HP/Sun) accounts, I use Korn, where bash
typically isn't available.  I like either, but am tending to like bash more
for the non-vi command line editing that uses cursor keys (I've been told
that this is set -o emacs in Korn, but it shore don't work like that on
Korn-88).

For one 3rd party install, I use csh because that's what they require.  And
because of they way they have it setup, if I'm in Korn and execute their
setup, it won't work.  I have to change to csh first, then execute their
setup.  Just poorly written, IMHO.

   Ensure the first line of the file has something like 
#! /bin/csh

I agree with Brian that if you're simply installing this application with no
requirement to maintain it, then no worries. If you end up maintaining it,
beware. C-shell superficially resembles bourne/korn shell, but actually
differs in some critical aspects. Sneaky little things that can bite you
when you least expect it. Originally c-shell was created to overcome some
deficiencies in bourne shell, but when bourne evolved into korn, in my
opinion that eliminated the need for c. Either way, have a little talk with
your vendor's developers about what the heck they are doing.

   So do you use bash for interactive or to write scripts? The trap many
fell into (and apparently still fall into) is that cshell is excellent for
interactive work, but isn't so great for scripting. That is the power of
korn, a friendly interactive face and a powerful scripting capability. I'm
just asking because I have a feeling I'll wind up on Linux some day.
