    need to redirect to different interpreter

    Hi, I am trying to execute some existing ksh scripts in an environment where I have pdksh instead. Since the first line of each script is either /bin/ksh or /usr/bin/ksh instead of /bin/pdksh they all fail. Is there a way to set a link or substitution in the environment to allow these to run...

    how to erase files on floppy?

    Thanks theDaver but it is not write protected. I will try RhythmAce's recommendation Monday. Perhaps another diskette will do it. I didn't know diskettes when reformatted would have any data to identify them on it. I will try anyway.

    expect script failing ...almost works

    I tried the passwd binary but it did not seem to work. Maybe I ran it incorrectly. I did get the expect script to work by adding some delay. #!/bin/sh # \ exec expect -f "$0" ${1+"$@"} set password [lindex $argv 1] spawn passwd [lindex $argv 0] expect "assword:" time {sleep 5} send...

    can several instances of exec share same log file ?

    Thanks cpjust for the info. I submitted here because the progam is c although I used a c++ compiler. I agree with your comment. In some cases all instances post all results and in others they don't.

    tkinter rpm will not install

    Thanks Eric, that solved the problem. I installed with --nodeps. I installed the TK, TCL, and TIX from source files so they are not in the RPM database. I'm a linux novice so this was unknown to me. Thanks again.
