Hi all,
I'm looking for a procedure to disable built-in commands in ksh. I
would be interested to know how to do it for the kill command, so
that
users would use the command under /usr/bin and not the built-in
commnad.
Thanks for your help
Fabio

in /etc/profile, or better in the file mentiond in the variable ENV:
alias kill=/usr/bin/kill

I appended at the .profile the alias command, but it seems it is not
working...It is like it is overwritten by something else. Which file
are you talking abuot in the ENV variable? I gave a look, but it seems
there is nothing that can help me.
Thanks

in /etc/profile or ~/.profile:
ENV=~/.kshrc
export ENV
in ~/.kshrc
alias kill=/usr/bin/kill
for /etc/profile or ~/.profile to take effect you need to log of and on
again or read them in your current shell
.. /etc/profile
resp.
.. ~/.profile

command -p /usr/bin kill
Try this to see if you have a sufficient ksh(1) version.

For the ksh88-based Solaris /usr/bin/ksh this isn't possible except if
you specify a full path (per POSIX standard shell builtin commands are
only used if you specify the command name and _not_ a full path, e.g. $
kill ... # will execute the shell builtin called "kill" (unless the
builtin is bound to a specific path (but that's another (complex) story
which AFAIK doesn't apply in this case)) while $ /usr/bin/kill ... #
will execute the external command "/usr/bin/kill" (note that both are
technicially identical since /usr/bin/kill in Solaris is a ksh shell
script which executes the "kill" builtin)).
There may be some hacks using "alias" but AFAIK this can be bypassed
with some tricks.
For ksh93 (see http://bugs.opensolaris.org/view_bug.do?bug_id=6437624)
there is the command "builtin" which can load, enable and disable
builtin commands (except "special builtins" which are part of the shell
language itself), including the "kill" builtin command.
