New to unix and learning the talk and walk of it. I am writing a script in .ksh and have a requirement of sending a mail with a message. Currently using this command in my script: mailx -s"File not found" abc@def.com This command helps me having a subject and the recipient name. My question is how can I write a message along with it.

In the KornShell (ksh) on AIX UNIX Version 5.3 with the editor mode set to vi using: set -o vi What are the key-strokes at the shell command line to autocomplete a file or directory name? paxdiablo ESC\ works fine on AIX4.2 at least. One thing I noticed is that it only autocompletes to the unique part of the file name. So if you have the files x.txt, x171go and x171stop, the following will happen: Press keys: Command line is: x x <ESC>\ x 1 x1 <ESC>\ x171 g<ESC>\ x171go Brian Deterling Extending the other answers: <ESC>* will list all matching files on the command line. Then you can use the

When I execute following command, on bash shell I get error but on Korn shell it runs perfectly fine. The only difference is missing single quote at the end of awk, after }. Could you help me understand why? echo `echo "a b c d" | awk '{ print $1 }` In the Korn shell, both back ticks and quotes can be left unmatched, the tokenizer will try and guess where either will end and match them accordingly. Examples: /home/ufierro # echo "`echo ah" + echo ah + echo ah ah /home/ufierro # echo `echo 'hello world` + echo 'hello world' + echo hello world hello world Notice how both examples show a

There is a Java class which creates a POST request and sends it to a servlet. The main method of the class file (test) looks something like this: public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException { // Code logic goes here... // No return Statement } This is called from a KornShell (ksh) script something like this: retcode=`$CLK_JAVA_PATH -cp $CLASSPATH test ${PASSWORD} ${HOSTNAME} ${TOOLSET}` if [ $? != "0" ];then echo "ERROR: echo "${retcode}" else echo "${SCRIPT} Success" fi retcode always has the value "2" independent of if the code fails or succeeds. My question is since the return
