Description
RFE: Link /usr/xpg4/bin/sh to ksh93. ksh93 (after the update in CR #6619428)
should be standard-conformant enougth to take-over the job of the "POSIX shell"
(=/usr/xpg4/bin/sh in Solaris; the platform-independent way to find the POSIX
shell is to fetch the value of $ getconf CS_PATH # and search this path for
"sh") which is currently done by a modified version of the (closed-source)
ksh88 codebase.
AFAIK the following things may need to be done (needs to be discussed with Don
Cragun and April Chin; most of these items may be done in ksh93 itself or by
writing a different "frontend" binary for libshell.so.1 (which contains the
core of ksh93) which does these adjustments):
- Bind the "echo" builtin to /usr/bin/echo
- Bind the "printf" builtin to /usr/bin/printf
- ... [more stuff may need to be done based on discussions and what the VSW
test suite says]
