ksh script 1

[smacattack]

Trying to run a script from a 3rd party application.
When execute script from command line works fine, runs in ksh enviroment using typset function.

When running through third party application fails
typset not found & integer: not found.

First line of script is #!/usr/bin/ksh

tried to echo $SHELL in script but nothing appears.

Any other ways of forcing the ksh enviroment.

thanks

The #!/usr/bin/ksh will force the script to run in the Korn Shell... Try echoing $PATH in the script from command line and from the application.

/tpp/oracle/general/9.2.0/bin:/tpp/oracle/general/6.0.8/bin:/usr/bin:.:/usr/local/bin:/opt/bin

This is the $PATH echo from the script when executed from the application.

/usr/bin on path is there anything missing to affect ksh ?

thanks

Make sure the application $PATH replicates the 'interactive' $PATH.

It's possible that the application explicitly runs it using Bourne shell, e.g. /bin/sh scriptname, in which case something like this at the beginning of the script might do the trick:

#!/bin/ksh

if ps -o comm -p $$ | grep ksh > /dev/null
then
        continue
else
        exec ksh $0
fi

echo a korn shell script, $(echo "which won't work under sh")

Annihilannic.
