Just noticed that tab-completion in /bin/sh has been added in 9.0 (verified that it is not there in 8.0, dunno if it's there in 8.2, could probably go digging to figure it out). In addition to the command history via <up>:<down> (which is present in 8.0) FreeBSD sh is now actually a pretty usable interactive shell. I also noticed that the following bit has been removed from the sh(1):
This version has many features which make it appear similar in some respects to the Korn shell, but it is not a Korn shell clone like pdksh. Just wondering if the general direction here is attempting to provide a minimal POSIX shell, that is useful enough interactively to become the default root shell (supplanting csh)? Or if there is just a general trend towards adopting more of the ksh feature-set. Relatively new to list, so if this has been discussed, apologies. -- regards, matt _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-hackers-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
