Solaris Bourne shell:
$ ls -l /tmp/ &; sleep 10
syntax error: `newline or ;' unexpected
Solaris Korn shell:
$ ls -l /tmp/ &; sleep 10
ksh: syntax error: `newline or ;' unexpected
pdksh:
$ ls -l /tmp/ &; sleep 10
pdksh: syntax error: `;' unexpected
AT&T ksh93:
$ ls -l /tmp/ &; sleep 10
ksh93: syntax error: `;' unexpected
