However, the solaris standards man page does cover it. It says that:
" An application that wants to use standard-conforming utili-
tues must set the PATH (sh(1) or ksh(1)) or path (csh(1))
environment variable to specify the directories listed in
the following table in the order specified to get the
appropriate utilities:"
Your particular desire to use /bin/sh instead of relying on path is
unfortunately not covered by the SUS (to my knowledge).
