hi,
I have a peculiar problem
I am working in bash shell
There is one particular directory in my unix box
For the scripts present in that directory, if i put sh <script name>
it is working fine
if i put ksh <script name> the corresponding script is not even executing

but apart from that directory if i put the script in my home directory and run the script using the command ksh <script name> it is working fine

I am wondering what could be reason for the same

can any one plz help how to solve this issue

thanks in advance

If i run the script in home directory using the command ksh tst.ksh it is working fine

If i run the same script in some other directory (e.x. source directory) using the command ksh tst.ksh it is not executing but if i try to find the return code using echo $? it is returning 0
in the same directory i tried executing using sh tst.ksh it is displaying the result
