I'm sponsoring that for Roland; however, one of the problems we have is the
fact that "sleep 1" may sleep for a very long time.
And even with that fix, I observe that ksh93 tries to open ".paths" in
any directory in $PATH.
This happens when we run:
cmd=$(basename $0)
it *doesn't* happen when I run basename like this:
basename $0
When a directory in $PATH is "remote", sleep can still sleep a long time.
Is there any reason to NOT use the following in /bin/alias?
cmd=${0##*/}
I also noticed that ksh93 tries to readlink("/proc/<pid>/exe"). In
Solaris, this can be found through "/proc/self/path/a.out" or
using getexecname().
