Janet,
bigadmin.com has the answer to your first question(s)..

http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/scripts/submittedScripts/quicktop.sh.txt

As far as the second question(s) go... You seem to already be running in
the ksh

>Note that you can run any shell simply by typing its name. For example, if
I am now running csh and wish to switch to ksh, I simply type ksh, and a
>Korn shell will start up for me. All my commands from that point on will
be read and processed by the Korn shell (though when I eventually want to
log
>off, exiting the Korn shell will still leave me in the C shell, so I will
have to exit from it too).

FWIW, your default shell is set in /etc/passwd

And PATH!?!? Hey, it all depends on what you want to do...

Enjoy,
Gary

Hi all,

I have two questions. First, how to find out
information about my unix box, like version, etc.

In my box, I can use hostname to get the machine name.
I remember there is a command called version, but I
got "Ksh: version: not found." Any other useful
commands to know about my machine?

Actually when I use top, it also returns "ksh: top:
not found." My second question is where does ksh
usually reside, which value should I set for PATH.

Thank you in advance.

Janet
