Changing case of a variable


How can I change case of first letter of a variable in shell programming?

#!/bin/sh

$name = "hello"
$name = toTitleCase($name);
echo $name

Is there anything like titleCase or soemthing that will change case of first letter to upper case.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks Mysidia,

I could make it work with small change in the index value in substr.

Thanks again.

name="hello"
echo $name
name=`echo $name |awk '{print toupper(substr($0,1,1))substr($0,2)}'`
echo $name
