can I make my ksh scripts into binary executables?

I have quite a good many scripts I've written and borrowed from others... is there a way to compile or convert or wrap them into a single non-editable binary executable? I'm sure I've seen this posted before but I couldn't find it anywhere.

Sure, but first you have to RE-Write them in "perl" and then do the "perlcc" on them.

Re: can I make my ksh scripts into binary executables?

I'm in the process of learning perl....
is there an (ahem...) easy way of converting to perl...

I guess I have a lot of reading to do then. I also saw a program by Lone Star called Script-Lock (or was it Lock-Script) that was supposed to convert your scripts into binary executables.... I doubt I'll look into that due to cost... But I do intend to learn perl so I guess this gives me some motivation.

It's not free but it will do the job. ShellLock from Cactus Software.

If it ain't broke, I can fix that.

John,

I agree - I've seen it before too but I'll be darned if I can find it now. I seem to remember replies from Olympians saying that it could be done with such and such a compiler.

I'll keep scanning . . .

John,

This is not the one I was thinking of but it's a start:

I'll still keep scanning . . .

Re: can I make my ksh scripts into binary executables?

right Cactus software... i found the link to that from lone star software... that's where I saw that... .


and if there were a compiler out there that could convert ksh scripts to binary... yahoo... i'll keep my fingers crossed.

In the meantime I think I'll go get a few books on perl. What's a good book to get? Any recomendations?
