man command with MKS

Post by Lippuner Ala » Mon, 01 Jul 1996 04:00:00



Hello,

I am discovering Unix environment through the use of the MKS toolkit
(running on a MS-Windows PC). I can't get the 'man' pages displayed on
the screen.
Has someone already had the same problem? What was the solution?

Thank you for your help.

I passed this to one of the people here in support.  Here's what he said:
Make sure that c:\bin is in the path and also please make sure that it is
before c:\dos directory or else it will use the wrong more.exe for
displaying the man pages.

Hope this helps,

1. mks ksh problems with backquoted commands to be put into variables?

Hi,
I'm trying to migrate a COMPLEX UNIX-application to Windows2003,
basically using our shell scripts from unix, converted (mostly
regarding the names of called scripts. e.g. rather *.ksh than *.bat)
and my experience from the migration we did 5 years ago to winNT (with
mks for kornshell and hamilton-csh).

The newer version now on w2k3 is MKS Toolkit for Developers 8.7.0200
seems to have problems with things like

TMPSYS=`uname -s | cut -c 1`

that is: calling some commands, often using pipes to process the
outputs and then putting the result into a variable to be used for
further decisions, sometimes fails resulting in an empty string!.

I managed to get "nondeterministic" results from such scripts, that is
running a testscript which does 1000 times (sequentially) the same
thing some times fails, which I controlled via the
stderr-debug-listing produced by ksh -vx.

any ideas?
It might be some problem of the server itself I have to admit, some
configuration regarding memory/processes/..., I'm not the
win-administrator-type.

I just want to exclude any known bugs or undocumented variables to be
set (of the TK_DO_NOT_whatsoever=1 type ...)

thanks a lot!
