At such time as coreutils decides tail should be incompatible with historical behaviour, we'll investigate if $_POSIX2_VERSION kicks it into sanity. Should it fail to do so, we'll poll the userbase at that time and see what versions of which OSes are still in use. IRIX is still being used and we've just been bitten with shell code in that not accepting POSIX by default. I'm not inclined to change needlessly here. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.exim.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email -- ## List details at http://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-dev Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ##
