need to redirect to different interpreter

[dans45]

Hi, I am trying to execute some existing ksh scripts in an environment where I have pdksh instead. Since the first line of each script is either /bin/ksh or /usr/bin/ksh instead of /bin/pdksh they all fail. Is there a way to set a link or substitution in the environment to allow these to run without having to edit each script?
Thanks for the help.

ln -s /bin/pdksh /bin/ksh

should work

Personally I find pdksh code is not very portable, and I notice it is gradually being replaced by more compliant Korn shells in most distributions, so I'd encourage you to fix the scripts some time to make them work under "normal" ksh.
