Does exist in kornshell a command like DOS "goto" to skip some steps and go to a determinated place on a script? Could somebody tell me if there's way with if then sentences to do that (for exemple if [ $var1 = 1 ] then echo "step will be skipped" goto "there" fi Please help

Check out http://www.kornshell.com/ I looked thru the Korn 93 manual and did not see a goto command listed. In school, most programmers are trained not to use goto as it leads to bad programming practices. Most (99.999%), if not all, code can be coded without any gotos. If you need some help with that, post some code.

My Suggestion: Make all of your chunks of code functions, and then you can call those functions. (i.e): #!/bin/ksh stty erase ^? function echoyes { echo "yes" } function echono { echo "no" } echo "Do you like monkeys?" read answer case $answer in y*|Y*) echoyes ;; n*|N*) echono ;; *) ksh testscript ;; esac NOTE: Anything can go between the { }'s for functions, and then you can call those anytime during the regular routine of your script. The functions will act as mini-programs themselves. So you can have hundreds or "mini-programs" within your main program. Hope this helps, any other questions, feel free to ask.
