Not a good idea. While Solaris 10 did away with statically linked shells and cron generally uses /usr/bin/bash nowadays, there are still a ton of scripts scattered around the system that depend on /bin/sh being a Bourne shell, not zsh, csh or even bash. Plus, a dynamically linked root shell will render your system unusable if and when /usr/lib becomes corrupted. The mentioned problem is that someone probably simply assumed /bin/sh to be a renamed bash... Meaning, the script should be fixed, not the system it is running on be messed with, since that might actually break the system. -- Chris _______________________________________________ Etoile-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/etoile-discuss
