HP-UX equivalent of ShellCheck

[TheJuiceman]

Hello everyone,

I am looking for a compiled equivalent of ShellCheck for HP-UX 11.31 IA.  I am needing something to determine if a script is compliant with a particular shell.

   I'd never heard of it, but I don't get out much.

   Is it unavailable from the Porting and Archive Centre?  Can it not be
built from source on your HP-UX system?

   Which "a particular shell"?

Hi @TheJuiceman , 
    I believe, ShellCheck will work with Linux and MacOS but not with HP-UX.
    I read that the Nickel collection tool works well with HP-UX. Please refer this post.
    I am not sure, even Bourne Shell Script works with HP-UX. Please search more on these two.

Regards,

Hi Steven,

It is not on the Porting and Archive Center site and I have not found an equivalent there.  Specifically, I'm looking to check a long list of scripts for Korn and POSIX shell  "compliance".   I have multiple scripts that have an improper or missing shebang line and want to check for inconsistancies and look at conforming very old scripts to newer standards that are more cross-platform compatible.

Thanks

Hi Shiva,

I do not believe Nickel will accomplish what I am looking to do.

Thanks

I'm looking for something that will analyze a shell script structure.  Thanks

   Ok.  I didn't see it there when I looked, either.

   Still wondering.  I'm too busy/lazy to try it, but you'd seem to have
a greater incentive than I.

   Or, if you think that it would solve your problem, then find some
other system where it is available, and transport your scripts to that
system for testing?

   That was certainly the impression I got.

Yep.  That's what I've been doing so far, but it would be nice to be able to do it on the native machine
