Uninstall.sh script fails when used with a shell other than Korn
 Technote (FAQ)
 
Problem
If your default shell is csh, you will receive a "Badly placed ()'s" message and the Uninstall.sh script will fail when uninstalling WebSphere® Application Server Enterprise Edition v4.1.
 
Cause
The Uninstall.sh script is designed to be run in korn shell and contains syntax that is only valid for korn shell.
 
Solution
If you are launching Uninstall.sh from a shell other than korn, you can add the following directive to the beginning of the script:

#! usr/bin/ksh

You can also explicitly switch to the korn shell before launching Uninstall.sh. For example, issue the following command:
$ ksh
$Install_Root/Enterprise/uninstall.sh
