[SunHELP] Korn shell script

[DAUBIGNE Sebastien - BOR ( SDaubigne@bordeaux-bersol.sema.slb.com )]

I'm afraid "for 1 to 10" is not valid in KSH.
You'd better use "while" or "for i in 1 2 3 5 6 7 8 9 10".

Example :

i=1
while [ $i -lt 10 ]
do
  ((i=i+1))
done
echo $i

For the increment, you can use either :

((i=i+1))

or :

let i=i+1

which is equivalent.

((i++)) is not valid in KSH.
