Erm... which issues did you find ?

There have been later versions of the builtin but that mainly affects "cosmetic changes" and some testsuite stuff (e.g. addition of a much more sophisticated src/cmd/ksh93/tests/builtin_poll.sh etc.) - The "risk" should be minimal... you basically have one extra shell builtin... you can only hit it when you explicitly use it (and so far noone has tripped over incompatibilities. Shell functions have precedence over builtins, e.g. ... -- snip -- ksh -c 'poll --version ; poll() { print xchicken ; } ; poll --version' version poll (AT&T Labs Research) 2012-08-16 xchicken -- snip -- ... which means existing scripts with a shell function "poll" won't trip over this...) ---- Bye, Roland -- __ . . __ (o.\ \/ /.o) [email protected] \__\/\/__/ MPEG specialist, C&&JAVA&&Sun&&Unix programmer /O /==\ O\ TEL +49 641 3992797 (;O/ \/ \O;) _______________________________________________ ast-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.research.att.com/mailman/listinfo/ast-users
