From: kielhd on 19 May 2010 08:21 Hi NG, I am writing a script that runs on various UNIX derivatives. For every derivative, specific commands are executed. For Linux, AIX and HP-UX the script is running ok. The next derivative to be implemented is SunOS. SunOS comes up with the following problem: In order handle all the derivatives in ONE script, there is a separate function for each derivative within the script. This function is accessed, if the script is executed on this derivative. .... function Linux ( .... ) function AIX ( .... ) function HPUX ( .... ) .... etc. The problem in SunOS is, that the command 'function' is not implemented into the Bourne shell. Question: How can the script for SunOS be modified, so that it is still running on the other derivatives? TIA, Henning

Either use /usr/xpg4/bin/sh or use: foo () rather than function foo Casper -- Expressed in this posting are my opinions. They are in no way related to opinions held by my employer, Sun Microsystems.
