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]
