I certainly have chosen the subject wrong, but I don't want to start a new thread now. Please let me backpedal a bit and describe the problem I am trying to solve.
A company I work for is trying to migrate their applications to Linux platform and have selected RedHat as the vendor. Redhat installs bash as the standard shell : $ ls -l /bin/sh lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Jul 7 2009 /bin/sh -> bash Now, because of the feature in question, scripts that utilize standard /bin/sh don't work properly. I afraid my suggestion to go "read the FAQ" with my accent some might hear as a profanity :) So the question is, is it possible to run bash in "compatible" mode? Maybe some flags during compilation were omitted by vendor? I can recompile the bash, auditing and rewriting all the scripts is just not feasible. Thank you, Vadym Chepkov
