Dear all; Good day. Can you please advice, any syntax command / code change for script writing between LINUX 4.5 and 5.2? So far what i know are: 1. "echo" changed to "echo -e" 2. there is no tail +8 but only tail -8 in 5.2 but 4.5 is working fine with both command 3. ?????? 4. ????? Your prompt feedback is highly appreciated. Many thanks and best regards

What Linux distribution are you referring to, RHEL, or something else? If you mean bash scripts, the chances are that no changes are required. However, as you have found, in your case, the commands 'echo' and 'tail' behave differently. These are not shell commands, but are system commands (/bin/echo, /usr/bin/tail most likely) that are called in your scripts. Caveat User!

im using rhel 5.2. the issue is i done the scripting in 4.5 but installed to 5.2 and now that 2 command doesnt' works, and i don't know what other command also will get impacted. so, i seriously asking around and see who is the expert can help me to solve my problem. Can you please help me to identify the syntax / code changes ? or, is there any patch i can apply? many thanks and your prompt feedback is highly appreciated
