I find for multi-OS scripts, I prefer to have a case statement that sets
an env variable for the command to be used. Unix is unix until you
switch OS's and your ksh scripts do not work anymore :). AIX probably
has the most OS specific commands of any of the flavors. And Linux is
bash friendly. If you want ksh, download the pdksh, it works well.

RedHat does not ship a ksh. Our software runs on three platforms,
Solaris,
AIX, and RedHat Linux, and we use /bin/sh which is of course bash on
RedHat.
Differences off the top of my head are in "df", "echo", "grep", "tar",
and
any of the awk/sed tools. These tools seem to change on about every
release
of RedHat.

korn shell will...but the lvm commands are vastly different.

Subject: Porting ksh scripts?
Hi all;
Does anyone know -- will 'ksh' scripts, build on AIX [433], port to
any/all
of the most current versions of the following OS's: HPUX, Solaris, Red
Hat?
I ask because we'll be building a "test lab" with 1 of the above
vendors (I
don't know which one yet) and I'd like to script as much of the LVM
build
(mkvg, mklv, crjfs) as possible before the new hardware arrives....but
only
if it the script(s) can be ported fairly simply.
Thanks in advance for the help!
Theresa
