Command Language
I/O redirection and pipe
% command running in foreground (interactive)
% command >file redirects stdout to file
% command 2>err_file redirects stderr to err_file
% command >file 2>&1 redirects both stdout and stderr on file
% (command > f1) 2>f2 send stdout on f1, stderr on f2
% command >>file appends stdout to file
% command > cc C compiler
> f77 Fortran compiler
> ar archive & library maintainer
> ld link editor
> dbx symbolic debugger
Examples :
> cc hello.c executable : a.out
> f77 hello.f idem
> cc main.c func1.c func2.c sevaral files
> cc hello.c -o hello redefine the executable name
> cc -c func1.c compilation only, then :
> cc main.c func1.o -o prog

Job control
> nohup command run a command immune to hangups, logouts,
and quits
> at, batch execute commands at a later time (see 'man at')
> jobs [-lp] [job_name] Display informations about jobs
> kill -l Display signal numbers ans names
> kill [-signal] job... Send a signal to the specified jobs
> wait [job...] Wait for the specified jobs to terminate
(or for all child processes if no argument)
> ps List executing processes

/usr/local/bin

History & Command line editing
> history
> history 166 168 # list commands 166 through 168
> history -r 166 168 # idem in reverse order
> history -2 # list previous 2 commands
> history set # list commands from most recent set command
> r # repeat last command
> r cc # repeat most recent command starting with cc
> r foo=bar cc # idem, changing 'foo' to 'bar'
> r 215 # repeat command 215
> r math.c=cond.c 214 # repeat command 214, but substitute cond.c
# for math.c

You can edit the command line with the 'vi' or 'emacs' editor :
Put the following line inside a KornShell login script :
FCEDIT=vi; export FCEDIT
$ set -o emacs
> fc [-e editor] [-nlr] [first [last]]
* display (-l) commands from history file
* Edit and re-execute previous commands (FCEDIT if no -e).
'last' and 'first' can be numbers or strings
$ fc # edit a copy of last command
$ fc 271 # edit, then re-execute command number 271
$ fc 270 272 # group command 270, 271 & 272, edit, re-execute

Creating KORNshell scripts
The different shells
/bin/csh C shell (C like command syntax)
/bin/sh Bourne shell (the oldest one)
/bin/ksh Korn shell (variant of the previous one)
+ public domain (tcsh, bash, ...)

Special shell variables
There are some variables which are set internally by the shell and which are available to the user:
$1 - $9 these variables are the positional parameters.
$0 the name of the command currently being executed.
$argv[20] refers to the 20th command line argument
$# the number of positional arguments given to this
invocation of the shell.
$? the exit status of the last command executed is
given as a decimal string. When a command
completes successfully, it returns the exit status
of 0 (zero), otherwise it returns a non-zero exit
status.
$$ the process number of this shell - useful for
including in filenames, to make them unique.
$! the process id of the last command run in
the background.
$- the current options supplied to this invocation
of the shell.
$* a string containing all the arguments to the
shell, starting at $1.
$@ same as above, except when quoted :
"$*" expanded into ONE long element : "$1 $2 $3"
"$@" expanded into THREE elements : "$1" "$2" "$3"
shift : $2 -> $1 ...)

special characters
The special chars of the Korn shell are :
$ \ # ? [ ] * + & ( ) ; ` " '
- A pair of simple quotes '...' turns off the significance of ALL enclosed chars
- A pair of double quotes "..." : idem except for $ ` " \
- A '\' shuts off the special meaning of the char immediately to its right.
Thus, \$ is equivalent to '$'.
- In a script shell :
# : all text that follow it up the newline is a comment
\ : if it is the last char on a line, signals a continuation line
qui suit est la continuation de celle-ci

Evaluating shell variables
The following set of rules govern the evaluation of all shell variables.
$var signifies the value of var or nothing,
if var is undefined.
${var} same as above except the braces enclose
the name of the variable to be substituted.
+-------------------+---------------------------+-------------------+
Operation if str is unset or null else
+-------------------+---------------------------+-------------------+
var=${str:-expr} var= expr var= ${string}
var=${str:=expr} str= expr ; var= expr var= ${string}
var=${str:+expr} var becomes null var= expr
var=${str:?expr} expr is printed on stderr var= ${string}
+-------------------+---------------------------+-------------------+

The if statement
The if statement uses the exit status of the given command
if test
then
commands (if condition is true)
else
commands (if condition is false)
fi

if statements may be nested:
if ...
then ...
else if ...
...
fi
fi

Test on numbers :
((number1 == number2))
((number1 != number2))
((number1 number2))
((number1 > number2))
((number1 = number2))
((number1 >= number2))
Warning : 5 different possible syntaxes (not absolutely identical) :
if ((x == y))
if test $x -eq $y
if let "$x == $y"
if [ $x -eq $y ]
if [[ $x -eq $y ]]

Test on strings: (pattern may contain special chars)
[[string = pattern]]
[[string != pattern]]
[[string1 string2]]
[[string1 > string2]]
[[ -z string]] true if length is zero
[[ -n string]] true if length is not zero
Warning : 3 different possible syntaxes :
if [[ $str1 = $str2 ]]
if [ "$str1" = "$str2" ]
if test "$str1" = "$str2"

Test on objects : files, directories, links ...
examples :
[[ -f $myfile ]] # is $myfile a regular file?
[[ -x /usr/users/judyt ]] # is this file executable?
+---------------+---------------------------------------------------+
Test Returns true if object...
+---------------+---------------------------------------------------+
-a object exist; any type of object
-f object is a regular file or a symbolic link
-d object is a directory
-c object is a character special file
-b object is a block special file
-p object is a named pipe
-S object is a socket
-L object is a symbolic (soft) link with another object
-k object object's "sticky bit" is set
-s object object isn't empty
-r object I may read this object
-w object I may write to (modify) this object
-x object object is an executable file
or a directory I can search
-O object I ownn this object
-G object the group to which I belong owns object
-u object object's set-user-id bit is set
-g object object's set-group-id bit is set
obj1 -nt obj2 obj1 is newer than obj2
obj1 -ot obj2 obj1 is older than obj2
obj1 -ef obj2 obj1 is another name for obj2 (equivalent)
+---------------+---------------------------------------------------+

The logical operators
You can use the && operator to execute a command and, if it is successful, execute the next command in the list. For example:
cmd1 && cmd2

cmd1 is executed and its exit status examined. Only if cmd1 succeeds is cmd2 executed. You can use the operator to execute a command and, if it fails, execute the next command in the command list.
cmd1 cmd2

Of course, ll combinaisons of these 2 operators are possible. Example :
cmd1 cmd2 && cmd3

Math operators
First, don't forget that you have to enclose the entire mathematical operation within a DOUBLE pair of parentheses. A single pair has a completely different meaning to the Korn-Shell.

+-----------+-----------+-------------------------+
operator operation example
+-----------+-----------+-------------------------+
+ add. ((y = 7 + 10))
- sub. ((y = 7 - 10))
* mult. ((y = 7 * 4))
/ div. ((y = 37 / 5))
% modulo ((y = 37 + 5))
shift ((y = 2#1011 2))
>> shift ((y = 2#1011 >> 2))
& AND ((y = 2#1011 & 2#1100))
^ excl OR ((y = 2#1011 ^ 2#1100))
OR ((y = 2#1011 2#1100))
