BTW: Around April 2010, Sun did change a lot of scripts and three of these scripts that are called with /sbin/sh since then contained non-portable features from ksh93 that are not part of POSIX and thus not supported by bosh. The changeset 13280:cf8a732487d8 in schillix-ON fixes that and is required in order to be able to boot with /sbin/sh being bosh. > My views and opinions are not deemed that important, but if I had the chance > to vote on this, I'd "up-vote" the choice to integrate "Bosh" and "dmake" > made suitable for the OpenSolaris line of operating systems. They have been made suitable years ago, just the current version of schillix-on does not represent the current development state from schilytools. BTW: it may be of interest to look at: http://schilytools.sourceforge.net/sunpromake.html and the current SunPro Make man page at: http://schilytools.sourceforge.net/man/man1/make.1s.html Jörg -- EMail:jo...@schily.net Jörg Schilling D-13353 Berlin Blog: http://schily.blogspot.com/ URL: http://cdrecord.org/private/ http://sourceforge.net/projects/schilytools/files/ ------------------------------------------ illumos: illumos-discuss Permalink: https://illumos.topicbox.com/groups/discuss/T0dfd9682ef3b9717-M2b8f98f44b5e819a44e7a129 Delivery options: https://illumos.topicbox.com/groups/discuss/subscription
