Identifying the Command Interpreter and Exporting the Path

The first line of a shell script must identify the command interpreter. Each method script in the sample data service identifies the command interpreter, as follows:

#!/bin/ksh

All method scripts in the sample application export the path to the Sun Cluster binaries and libraries rather than relying on the user's PATH settings.
