Which shell most popular....

kinux

Hi all,

As i know bash shell should be most popular on linux.

But , which shell popular on Unix... Such as on Solaris and freebsd...

As i use freebsd for my hobby and Solaris for job, i want to learn to write shell scripts on both OS, it is not easy for me to choose which shell is better for both OS.

i have found that on Solaris, the people like choose ksh to work with shell scripts, on Freebsd, tcsh will be a lot people use...
someone just say use bash as he work on linux...

Any comment??

sometimes i must switch from a UNIX to another, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, Solaris, IRIX...  in order to avoid incompatibility, i use *ONLY* Bourne Shell for script, my favorite shell is bash and it's my login shell so far though.  i ALWAYS add this header in script,

#!/bin/sh

and IMHO, to use #!/usr/local/bin/bash or something like this,  is a bad idea, if u are not sticking only on a certain system.

But the function of Bourne Shell may be not strong enough to do something....

Also, what shell compatible with Bourne Shell ??

thx

binary

ksh在大多数UNIX平台上还是用得很多的

用sh for script, Login Shell can use Others....
