Whatever you do, DO NOT replace root's default shell of /sbin/sh in /etc/passwd! If you do you WILL break the machine and have problems booting.

Give the POSIX shell (/sbin/sh) a try before resorting to bash.

Hi Aliasgar,

and be careful as that "bash" is a 32-bit program and does NOT care about "largefiles".
Even if you have "largefiles" enabled on a filesystem, this "bash" will ignore it!

Actually I have not found a true 64bit "bash", so you might have to compile it yourself!

FWIW,
Wodisch

Be sure to download and install the pre-requisities or the bash shell might not install or work.

This shell will let you run linux shell scripts unmodified on hp-ux.

It will not change the fact that HP-UX is a very different Unix than Linux and certain command just work differently.

Take a look at how something as simple as ping works and what options are available on the two platforms. This will still present an obstacle to certain scripts that use command line options.

Hi,

After downloading the depot, you need to run the following command:

# cd /path_to_depot
# swinstall -s `pwd`/depot_name

If system meets all the pre-requisites, your install will give a successful message.
