korn shell ( ksh )
Hello all. I am working with puppy linux and i need to work with korn shell ( ksh ).
How can I do to install it ? Thanks in advance. |
Not really familiar with Puppy. Having a look it appears to be run from a live CD in which case it seems you'd have to burn a CD with ksh on it to do this.
You may not need ksh however. Linux uses bash rather than ksh by default and they have a lot of the same capabilities. If you're running scripts that have something like "#!/bin/ksh" as the first line (called the interpreter line) you can likely fake it out simply by creating a symbolic link from bash to ksh: ln -s /bin/bash /bin/ksh Anything that had /bin/ksh for interpreter would actually run /bin/bash instead. There are some differences between the shells but for most purposes they are very similar. I haven't run across any ksh scripts yet that failed to work in bash. My main reluctance to using bash was the way it does history scrolling since I was used to the way ksh did it. However you can make bash do it the way ksh does it by simply typing "set -o vi" (adding this to your .profile or .bashrc keeps from having to do it every time you login). |
