Re: Upgrading bash in PASE

I don't think Bash is ordinarily part of PASE, I think it has to be added.

I thought PASE is the Korn shell.

I was almost positive I had bash on another machine that I hadn't done any
significant PASE stuff to, but then I tried the bash command and it didn't
exist so I believe you're right.

I see that their wwwinstall.sh installs the version of bash that you are

using.

Yes, I was actually using that as a guide a number of months ago and didn't
realize bash was part of that. There I go blindly installing stuff :-)

Your code.midrange.com is exactly what I needed and it got me up to date.
Makes a guy think we need a simple way to retrieve and install stuff on
the IBM i for the ILE environment.

Thanks all,

So digging a bit: From "Qshell for iSeries" (MCPress) by Ted Holt and
Fred Kulack:

/"Qshell is a Unix-like interface... ...It is a Bourne-like shell with
many features from the Korn shell. Qshell began as a port of the ash
shell, a Bourne-like shell from Berkely Software Design (BSD) "/

So I think the Bash shell has been added to your system. I tried that
on my V7 box and did not find Bash. Several of the AIX downloads
actually work quite well in PASE.

Hi all,

I am trying to install a utility in PASE on IBMi (v7.1) but it is
failing because it states bash version 3.2.25 is required. Running
"bash --version" via "CALL QP2TERM" states I am running the following
version:

GNU bash, version 3.00.16(1)-release (powerpc-ibm-aix5.1)
Copyright (C) 2004 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

Anybody know if it is possible to upgrade the bash version on IBM i?
