Title: Korn shell, anyone?
Post by: iago on November 09, 2006, 12:12:13 PM
I might be hired to teach a 4-day course on Unix, which is done with the Korn shell and Solaris. 

However, I've never used Korn shell.  I lied and said I had.  Oops.... but if it's Unixy, I can learn it fast. 

Anybody here have any significant experience with using Korn-shell?  Any pointers/gotchas to look out for?  Any suggestions? 

My plan is to find a web tutorial and go through it, then change my default shell to ksh and live my normal life, if I get this gig.  Woo! :)

Odds are you won't have to explain much about the korn shell.

Install solaris, man korn.

Actually, Korn was the first thing he asked me about, before even asking about Solaris experience.  So I wouldn't be too sure...

I'll know more about this later, we'll see what it look like.  If I get to teach philosophy and history of UNIX, then I'm totally in.  That's the best part.
