Hi

to assign a value to a variable:
varname=varvalue
echo $varname

to debug your script you can set "set -x" after "#!/usr/bin/ksh"

#!/usr/bin/ksh
set -x

Hi again..

If you want the script to prompt you for the variable at the time of execution then you may need to do

echo "Reading the value of int1 :\c"
read int1
echo "Reading the value of int2 :\c"
read int2
if [ "$int1" = "$int2" ]
then
echo "command was successful"
else
echo "command was unsuccessfull"
fi

If you want assign a value in the script with out prompting then

int1=xyz
int2=xyz

sry there must be a space between [ and "$int1":

if [[SPACE"$int1" -eq "$int2"SPACE]]
