Perhaps an RH-specific bash2 hack to allow but warn on the questionable (non-compliant) but bash1-friendly script (line number if available) then let that ride around for a release, letting the real bash2 become default in a couple of releases (7.0?) Maybe a env var to make it totally backwards even w/o warning? $I_WANT_A_BROKEN_BASH perhaps, because why should ps have all the fun? :) James -- Miscellaneous Engineer --- IBM Netfinity Performance Development -- To unsubscribe: mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null
