Porting scripts from IRIX64 to SUNOS

[pdmd]

Why won't the following script run on a Sun operating system when it will on an IRIX64?

#! /usr/bin/sh

integer count=1
while (( count <= 9 ))
do
print &quot;count is : $count&quot;
(( count +=1 ))
done

use /usr/bin/ksh instead. hope this helps.

Here is an example that will do exactly what you want in sh on a solaris box:

#!/usr/bin/sh

c=&quot;1&quot;
while [ $c -lt &quot;9&quot; ]
do
echo &quot;count is : $c&quot;
c=`expr $c + 1`
done
exit

I hope this helps!
