No, it would be more correct to have a real /usr/bin/od command on the system, even if it's just a symlink to /usr/gnu/bin/od - not having one is just asking to break scripts. I'm not going to take a long convoluted hack upstream at X.Org to work around such incompatible behavior for one distro.
I see, thanks for the reply. Well, *if* OmniOS indeed (again, I did not yet try it in practice) does not provide even a symlink at "standard" Solarisish locations, especially if it provides the binary anyway, this is the problem to fix. However I might envision a scenario like what happened with OpenSolaris and later OI, where the GNU userland got priority in default PATHs and sometimes was incompatible with Solaris equivalent commands in either command-line switches or parsable output, which could make interactive admins' life uneasy and old scripts - broken. Though for exactly that particular case, just fixing the PATH back helped ;) in cases similar to that, the hacks like mine might help... //Jim ------------------------------------------- illumos-discuss Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/182180/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/182180/21175430-2e6923be Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=21175430&id_secret=21175430-6a77cda4 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
