   So do you use bash for interactive or to write scripts? The trap many fell into (and apparently still fall into) is that cshell is excellent for interactive work, but isn't so great for scripting. That is the power of korn, a friendly interactive face and a powerful scripting capability. I'm just asking because I have a feeling I'll wind up on Linux some day.

For Linux, I use bash. For Unix (HP/Sun) accounts, I use Korn, where bash typically isn't available. I like either, but am tending to like bash more
for the non-vi command line editing that uses cursor keys (I've been told that this is "set -o emacs" in Korn, but it shore don't work like that on Korn-88).

For one 3rd party install, I use csh because that's what they require. And because of they way they have it setup, if I'm in Korn and execute their setup, it won't work. I have to change to csh first, then execute their setup. Just poorly written, IMHO.

My $.02,
Rich
