Korn shell – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I have worked on some AIX in an ancient ksh with vi for the last 4 weeks (Mondays through Fridays, Geneva, Switzerland).
No bash on that machine, no emacs either.
Well, I remembered “set -o gmacs” for ksh at least. Maybe the ksh on that machine had never gotten tortured with that form of emacs mode ever before.
No, I am not going to use pdksh instead of bash.
Although I tried my best, I don’t think my cautious shell scripting style will have any effect on anybody I met there:
if test “$ivar” -eq 0
instead of
if test $ivar -eq 0
