Script won't run on Solaris

I'm trying to make the following script run on SunOS 5.10 Generic_120011-14 sun4v sparc SUNW, but I'm having difficulties with adjusting it.

#!/bin/bash
DIRECTORY=$1
if [ $# -eq 1 ]; then
 if [ -d "$DIRECTORY" ]; then
   find "$DIRECTORY" -mindepth 1 -printf '%y %p\n' | awk '$1=="d"{sub(/.*\//,"&DIR: ")} {gsub(/[^\/]*\//," ")} 1'
 else
   echo "That directory doesn't exist."
   exit 1
 fi
else
 find . -mindepth 1 -printf '%y %p\n' | awk '$1=="d"{sub(/.*\//,"&DIR: ")} {gsub(/[^\/]*\//,"  ")} 1'
fi

Command find doesn't have -printf nor does it have -mindepth. Any suggestions what should I use instead?

The problem is not Solaris specific, the problem is you are using GNU extensions so your script is not portable, i.e. not POSIX.

There are two ways to overcome the issue, either the GNU utilities you need are already installed on your Solaris 10 machine, and you just need to tell your script to use them, or they are not installed and you need to modify your script to use POSIX or at least Solaris standard options and syntax.

    1. GNU tools
#!/bin/bash
PATH=$PATH:/usr/sfw/bin:/usr/local/bin:/opt/csw/bin
DIRECTORY=$1
if [ $# -eq 1 ]; then
 if [ -d "$DIRECTORY" ]; then
   gfind "$DIRECTORY" -mindepth 1 -printf '%y %p\n' | gawk '$1=="d"{sub(/.*\//,"&DIR: ")} {gsub(/[^\/]*\//," ")} 1'
 else
   echo "That directory doesn't exist."
   exit 1
 fi
else
 gfind . -mindepth 1 -printf '%y %p\n' | gawk '$1=="d"{sub(/.*\//,"&DIR: ")} {gsub(/[^\/]*\//,"  ")} 1'
fi
    1. Solaris tools
#!/bin/ksh
DIRECTORY=${1:-.}
if [ ! -d "$DIRECTORY" ]; then
  echo "That directory doesn't exist."
  exit 1
fi
find "$DIRECTORY" ! -name "$DIRECTORY" -exec \
   ksh -c 'printf "%c %s\n" $(ls -dl "$1" | cut -c1-1) "$1"' sh {} \; | \
   nawk '$1=="d"{sub(/.*\//,"&DIR: ")} {gsub(/[^\/]*\//," ")} 1'
