I don't think you can assign at the same time you set the "-r" attribute - do it
like this instead:
ExeName=${0##*/}
NiceOpt=""
typeset -r ExeName
typeset -r NiceOpt
print $ExeName

I recently bought RedHat 6.1 Professional version. Yesterday I upgraded my system to redhat Linux 6.1. Many of my shell scripts stopped working because they contained "typeset -r" commands. Example: --------------------------------------------------------------- #!/bin/ksh typeset -r ExeName=${0##*/} typeset -r NiceOpt="" print $ExeName date --------------------------------------------------------------- When I execute above script I get following message: /tmp/tst.ksh[3] ExeName: is read only /tmp/tst.ksh[4] NiceOpt: is read only Wed Nov 17 11:09:06 CST 1999 As you can see ExeName is not set. Here is the output of uname -a before upgrade: Linux lidp14 2.0.34 #21 Thu Apr 29 12:22:41 CDT 1999 i586 unknown Here is th output of uname -a after upgrade: Linux lidp14 2.2.12-20 #1 Mon Sep 27 10:25:54 EDT 1999 i586 unknown Please respond ASAP, all my administrative scripts are not working.
