I remember bumping into this one some time back.
I cannot remember how I fixed it - although I have vague recollections of
modifying it to suite my ksh version.
That was about 5 or 6 contracts ago, so I no longer have the code, but I
think I did pass it on to somebody on the list.
There is also a remake of bb-moracle on the Xymonton web page. It looks
like it needs sh, making it a little more portable.
Why not check if that will suit you needs?

Vernon

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
