but this is so secondary to the actual problem, which is....what??? I have a small utilitarian program that I *need* to be small, utilitarian, and have low system impact....and it's doing *NAMESERVICE* calls? ok, sleep is maybe not so utilitarian for a machine in distress. kill? I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to open this discussion again: I just don't understand how moving these simple, sometimes critical, commandline utilities to ksh scripts is even close to reasonable.
