*Synopsis*: ksh93 profile shell option does not work
Product: solaris
Category: shell
Subcategory: korn93
Type: Defect
Subtype:
Status: 6-Fix Understood
Substatus:
Priority: 3-Medium
Introduced In Release: solaris_nevada
Introduced In Build: snv_72
Responsible Engineer: <User 1-1SURPB>
Keywords: oss-request, oss-sponsor
=== *Description* ============================================================
When running ksh93 with the profile option or invoking it as
pfksh93, a few bad things happen:
- The first external command executed leads to the shell exiting:
ksh93 -P
$ /bin/echo x
x
<ksh93 has now execited>
- When pfexec is called it is called with argv[0] as the command to be
executed; this
is contrary to the standard calling convention which would make argv[0]
"/usr/bin/pfexec"
pfksh93 does this:
101043: execve("/usr/bin/pfexec", 0x00418310, 0x00418378) argc = 3
101043: argv: ifconfig /sbin/ifconfig -a
A Solaris profile shell does this:
101048: execve("/usr/bin/pfexec", 0x08096588, 0x08094E48) argc = 3
101048: argv: /usr/bin/pfexec /usr/sbin/ifconfig -a
