ksh: Execute a specific script, printing each command in the script before executing it.
$ ksh -x ${path-to-script-ksh}
try on your machine
The command "ksh -x ${path-to-script-ksh}" is using the Korn Shell (ksh) to execute a script file specified by the variable "path-to-script-ksh", while also enabling the debug mode with the "-x" option.
Here is a breakdown of the command:
- "ksh" is the executable for the Korn Shell, which is a Unix shell and command language interpreter.
- "-x" is an option passed to ksh to enable debug mode. In debug mode, the shell displays each command it executes along with the expanded values of any variables used in the command.
- "${path-to-script-ksh}" is a placeholder representing the path to the Korn Shell script file that should be executed. The actual path should be provided as the value of the "path-to-script-ksh" variable.
When executed, this command will run the specified Korn Shell script with debug mode enabled, allowing you to see the step-by-step execution of the commands within the script, along with the expanded values of any variables used.
