Interestingly, nawk is symlinked to mawk by default on Debian-based systems. $ readlink /usr/bin/nawk /etc/alternatives/nawk $ readlink /etc/alternatives/nawk /usr/bin/mawk Not sure if the RH/SLES *awk packages will provide the symlink automatically, if not it appears to be safe to symlink as others have mentioned. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@vm.marist.edu with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
