[Xymon] error on script

[Gore, David W (David)]

It may be important to keep in mind the different versions of Korn shell.  I cannot remember which script assumed that I had ksh93 which wasn't the version installed on our Solaris machines, maybe it was AIX or HPUX who knows. So it caused errors that could only be resolved by knowing the differences and how to resolve those differences between the older and newer versions of Korn shell.  Regardless, although it took me some time to understand some database details, dbcheck.pl seemed to be a better tool that you can run from the Xymon server.

The script appears to use the Korn Shell (ksh), so you'll have to install
that for it to work. From the command prompt, it seems you are running
Bash.

On Linux, you can usually install the "ksh" or "pdksh" packages to get a
working ksh. And make sure the first line of the script points to your
"ksh" binary, like

  #!/bin/ksh

if it is installed in /bin
