Can we change default Shell Interpreter

Hi,

We are currenlty using LINUX in the process of moving to AIX. All the shell scripts written had #!/bin/sh for interpreter. But AIX does not support positional parameters if this is used, hence we have been advised to change it to #!/bin/ksh93.

Is there anyway where I can make the change in only one place viz shell variable/environment variable rather than making the change across all scripts...

Thanks,

Deepicka

I'm pretty sure on AIX /bin/sh is a symlink to the Korn shell executable anyway. If it's not on your system, you can create one.
