That's the old "new /bin/sleep" - the new new /bin/sleep (integrated in nv_109) is a binary linked against ksh93 libraries, due to the fixes for: 6793120 pkill fails on native and sn1 branded zones 6800929 snv_106 ksh93 update breaks Install(1M) (i.e. "pkill sleep" didn't work when the sleep process name was "ksh93") http://src.opensolaris.org/source/history/onnv/onnv-gate/usr/src/cmd/ksh/ -- -Alan Coopersmith- alan.coopersmith at sun.com Sun Microsystems, Inc. - X Window System Engineering
