Converting scripts from ksh to bash
Question
I have some ksh scripts which I'd like to convert to run with bash instead.
Are there any useful on-line resources for this?
I'm really looking for a list of differences between the two shells and any gotchas I might encounter, although all information is welcome :-)
OTHER TIPS
Here's a comparison from HP on the differences between shells:
Here's a great set of UNIX shell tutorials from Richard's Shell Scripting Universe:
The second is by far one of the most useful scripting resources I have found, and it really helps you learn how to write scripts with portability in mind.
Good luck with your conversions.
