Hi,

the latest korn shell?
Anything in the os HP-UX is done by patches - so if there are any changes at a shell there should be a patch for it.

swlist -l patch | grep 38683
Older levels would be these superseeded patches:
PHCO_38162, PHCO_37285

Re: re : korn shell

Depends what you mean by "latest" - if you just mean "latest patch", you have your answer.

 

If you mean ksh93 rather than ksh88, then you should look at using /usr/dt/bin/dtksh (note I think in some cases this may not be installed by default on 11.31 - it's in the CDE-CDE-MIN fileset, if you don't have that installed you'll need to install it off your installation media)

Re: re : korn shell

Hi Vincent:

 

You already have the answers to what constitutes the "latest" --- either the most recent cumulative 'ksh' (Korn88) patch or the 'dtksh' (Korn93) from the 11.31 CDE bundle.

 

As for "a way to test it" you need to tell us what that means to you.  Either source of the above software has been extensively tested.  If you feel that you have a script that isn't working the way you feel it should, create a test case of the anomolous behavior and run the test suite *before* and *after* any software change.

 

Is there a particular problem that you are having and that you believe would be solved by a patch or change from Korn88 to Korn93 ? 

 

Regards!
