I have a shell script who’s first line reads:
#!/bin/ksh
The problem is that at the time that this script is being run there is /bin
directory. There is however a /ram/ksh.
I know that I could ‘prefix -A /bin/ksh=/bin/ksh’ but the shell script is
going to install QNX on this file system. If I use this prefix it won’t
properly install /bin/ksh.
I know that I can use something like:
/ram/ksh myscript
But I also need to pass arguments to the script, i.e.
/ram/ksh myscript arg1 arg2
For some reason the arguments aren’t being passed to the script when being
invoked like this. How can I run this script and pass it arguments?

Make the first line read:
#!/ram/ksh
(The #! syntax tells the loader to run a particular executable and
pass this script and other options to it. It doesn’t have to be
#!/bin/ksh – it could be a shell at a different location, or it
can even be other interpreters, I write awk scripts that start with
“#!/bin/awk -f” for instance.

How about:
/ram/ksh -c “myscript arg1 arg2”

I though that should work, but it wasn’t.
If you look at the thread right before this, you’ll see I screwed up because
I was running esh and not ksh.
