Linux Korn Shell Interactive Primer Tutorial<\/p><\/div>\n

Linux (or unix) support a number of shell command line environments, the default being Bash<\/a> for Mac OS X and its Terminal application. My favourite shell is called Korn<\/a> shell, because I got used to it a lot doing work with it, and I do find Foghorn Leghorn amusing … even though this is spelt Corn<\/a> … pretty Flaky reasoning … chortle, chortle … you cannot be cereal … chortle, chortle.<\/p>\n

When you want interactive input from the user in a desktop session I guess it is tempting to write a C or C++ or Java program (and compile it), but there is nothing wrong with getting the input via a shell script of some sort, if speed is not of the essence. With this in mind we say something about a shape you nominate with your interactive input, should you follow through and download the Korn shell script you could call shapes.ksh<\/a> and save it to your Linux disk (into the path somewhere perhaps) and chmod 777 .\/shapes.ksh<\/i> to make the script executable and go .\/shapes.ksh<\/i> to execute (within the directory where you placed it)..<\/p>\n

Looked up Google for content ideas<\/a> here … so, thanks.<\/p>\n

As with all Linux command line commands man ksh<\/i> can help you find out more about Korn shell (man refers to it as “KornShell, a standard\/restricted command and programming language”<\/i>) or, if you are feeling a bit violent (chortle, chortle), try man bash<\/i> to find out more about the GNU Bourne-Again SHell … I kid you not … sounds like a great title for another Matt Damon<\/a> movie.<\/p>\n
