Crud, let me try that again.
Howdy! I
I'm wondering if any one shell is faster than another in Grex. I changed to
`sh' from `csh', but there's still alot of typing lag. I'm telnetting from
Manhattan and maybe I just have to get a shell account in my area.

It's not your shell, it's the network between you and Grex which is causing
the lag.
Aside from that, welcome to Grex!

(Could also be the load on grex, which varies. I find it much slower
when the load is above 20 than when it is below 5. Currently, it is:
12:35pm up 5 days, 22:46, 38 users, load average: 4.46, 3.76, 3.40
)

I have been getting a lot of lag this past week while dialed in - 30 sec wait
for a word to appear.

I got a GREX acct for the purpose of writing simple Kornshell programs. To
run them I need to know what to put on the first line --#!/bin/ksh isn't
working. Is the ksh command located elsewhere? Any FAQs available on this
for GREX? pclash@yahoo.com

shouldn't that be in his PATH, though?

Re 81: /usr/local/bin should be in his PATH, but it won't look there for ksh
if he specifies /bin/ksh.

by that logic, then, #!ksh would be sufficient?
based on the full path already existing in PATH.

Except that shell scripts don't have a path. That's why you have to specify
it after the #!

Only if you're willing to rely on everyone who might use the script having
ksh in their path.

sorry, #85 slipped in. #86 was referring to #84. Joe, shell scripts can
inherit the environment (including the path), but you can't count on that
environment being what you expect...

I don't think the path is consulted when interpreting the shebang
line. e.g. on my linux system, "#!/usr/local/bin/perl" works but
"#!perl" doesn't, despite the fact that /usr/local/bin is in my
path.

Hmm. I thought it did use the path, too (though I always use the full path),
but quick tests say Joe & John are right on the SYSV system I use most. And
there the error message is particularly awful: it implies that the script is
not found. Bleah.

Yeah, that's one of the all-time worst UNIX error messages.

In the stupid UNIX tricks department, someone told me that
an unfinished command of 'make love' returns the error message of:
'can't make love'. Isn't that what being a UNIX is all about?

The TOPS-10 platform I used to use responded to the command
"make love" with "Not war?"

The FreeBSD machine I use gave this:

make: don't know how to make love. Stop
