Korn Shell on Linux:

Here are some notes I posted to the Mandrake Newbie mailing list last
year.  Yes, you can get the real AT&T Korn Shell, pre-compiled for
Linux.

Here are the instructions:

(The homepage for the Kornshell is http://www.kornshell.com.)

Go to this page:

http://www.research.att.com/~gsf/cgi-bin/download.cgi?action=list&name=a
st-ksh

Download this file:

http://www.research.att.com/~gsf/download/tgz/ast-ksh.2001-01-01.0000.li
nux.i386.tgz (Listed as linux.i386 in the 'TYPE' column.)

Change to the directory containing the
ast-ksh_2001-01-01_0000_linux_i386.tgz file and execute the following
command:
   tar zxvf ast-ksh_2001-01-01_0000_linux_i386.tgz

Change to the root user (su - root, then enter root password)

Change back to the directory containing the
ast-ksh_2001-01-01_0000_linux_i386.tgz file and execute the following
commands:

   mv arch/linux.i386/man/man1/sh.1 /usr/man/man1/ksh.1
   mv arch/linux.i386/bin/* /usr/bin

Type 'exit' to get out of the root user access.

Type 'ksh' and the korn shell prompt should appear.
