Bourne Shell Programming

I need to write a program for an application that provides the Update Equipment details function that must be written in Bourne Shell programming.

Thank you...

when a customer buys an equipment from a shop,then the application will automatically update the details when an item has been sold out.

Re: Bourne Shell Programming

You can use a shell to piece together the right components, but Bourne Shell or any other shell does not seem to be the appropriate tool for something like this.

You could use sh to run a program to list the components that need to be updated to a file or pipe. The output could then be parsed with something like awk, cut, or in some cases sh.
The parsed data could be used to call an update application.

If the data structures are really simple, the application components could be sh.
