Hi All,

I have a shell script which has 17 parameters of which most are Pathnames. When I try to run the script with the pathnames then it gives ksh: “X”: notfound – Where ”X” is the last parameter while reading the parameters. However when I give simple numbers like 1,2,3,4….. as parameters though the scripts fails as pathnames have been replaced by numbers, still at least it moves forward and does not stop at the reading of parameters only.

Is there any limit on the size of parameters that can be sent to a shell script?

How can I overcome this problem.

Please Cc to my ID also

Regards

Mrinal

What shell are you using? Please post your script (just the relevant parts) so we can test it on other systems.

Best regards.

Frank
