Looks promising. Thanks, Andrew. I suppose the real question is a pair: (a) What is the earliest version of darwin that we need to support? (b) Does that version of darwin have a reasonable 'bash'? By example, taking the Solaris equivalent (which is what I know a little about): A few years ago that would have been: "(a) Solaris 2.6; (b) no easy bash". Nowadays: "(a) Solaris 2.8 (probably 2.9). (b) Decent bash since 2.8". So a migration to assume availability of bash is looking promising. -- : David Lee I.T.
