Hi, I am trying to remotely run a korn script in a Linux box as a root user. However, the default shell in the Linux box for root is bash. I want to be able to change the shell from bash to ksh in my Korn script (without having to manually go and change the root's default shell), so that I don't have to worry about setting it everytime I use a new machine (as the script should take care of it). I have searched and looked hard, but haven't been able to find a way that works. Can someone please help me out.... Thanks, Priya.

The shell is declared on the first line of the script #!/bin/ksh #!/usr/bin/perl etc

Actually, David, I wanted to be able to exectue a ksh command on say, Linux, although Linux might not recognize the commnad. I figured it out and can make it work by using ksh -c example:- hp uses remsh to log into another session. However, my script runs on Solaris and it doesn't recognize remsh. So, if in my script I say ksh -c remsh -l ..... both Solaris and HP will be able to execute the command remsh. Thanks for your answer, nevertheless...
