Thanks for pointing this out. Our launchers have this in the first line: #!/bin/sh /bin/sh should be a POSIX compatible shell. On the BSDs, OSX and Solaris (IIRC) this is some kind of ksh. The man page on OpenBSD explicitly states this: This version of sh is actually ksh in disguise. As such, it also supports the features described in ksh(1). This manual page describes only the parts relevant to a POSIX compliant sh. If portability is a concern, use only those features described in this page. They provide different man pages for sh and ksh although /bin/sh is ksh. http://man.openbsd.org/sh http://man.openbsd.org/ksh Can you provide a link to some BourneShell man page (a real one, not bash)? We should fix the launchers in 3.5.0 once and for all. Currently reading the "Shell & Utilities" volume from here: <http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/> This is what we should be compatible to. Did not find anything about "readlink" in there so we should not be using it and find a compliant solution.
