If we are replacing utilities like sleep(1) then we should be using the GNU versions not the ksh93 versions, not least because the GNU versions increase compatibility with Linux. I'm also unclear at which point ksh93 was elevated to the level of primacy that this change implies. It appears that this change is making Solaris less rather than more shell-agnostic, and I'm failing to understand why that is considered to be a good thing. -- Alan Burlison --
