Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: for years I have been using korn shell
Paula
Ensure the first line of the file has something like #! /bin/csh
I agree with Brian that if you're simply installing this application with no requirement to maintain it, then no worries. If you end up maintaining it, beware. C-shell superficially resembles bourne/korn shell, but actually differs in some critical aspects. Sneaky little things that can bite you when you least expect it. Originally c-shell was created to overcome some deficiencies in bourne shell, but when bourne evolved into korn, in my opinion that eliminated the need for c. Either way, have a little talk with your vendor's developers about what the heck they are doing.

I have been working with Oracle on Unix - various platforms since Version
6.X.
For the first time a vendor has sent us an install that installs under the
C-shell.
Up until this point I have always worked on and installed under the korn
shell.
This introduces a different shell environment in our current environment. I find this really annoying. However, I cannot find anything that stipulates which shell environment to use.
-What is everyone else using out there?
-Do you think I should make an issue of this one?
Thanks,
Paula
