Hello,

is there any tool to check ksh script syntax correctness without executing the script?

The usual approach is to execute the script in a 'dry-run' fashion, ie replacing any possibly problematic things in it with harmless ones, but with the same logic behind them.

Ken,
sorry, don't know that.
I got it from 'man ksh' in Tru64 (Digital Unix)

AFAIK, all ksh version accept this syntax:
ksh -n /path/to/script2check

Hope This Help, PH.
