you'd either have to write to the lowest common denominator [hard] /or/ we could just use /bin/sh as a translation layer to figure out which shell *should* be run based on preference or syntax [easier] .. using #!/bin/sh is almost like using "dude" in conversation - it's a little ambiguous and hardly a standardized programming interface --- .je _______________________________________________ indiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/indiana-discuss
