Problem _solved_. ;-)
Sounds OK with me. Thanks, Lars. o If a variant of "sh" (bash, ksh, etc.) the "#!/bin/xxx" should be an accurate reflection; o Within a sh-related support library (e.g. ".ocf-shellfuncs.in") we should keep to pure Bourne; o Be aware that several commercial OSes may not have certain languages or shell dialects (for instance, Solaris still doesn't natively have "python"). And for evolving languages the available version may not be the lastest (for example Solaris-10:perl 5.8.4; Sol-8:"5.005_03"). Hope that helps. -- : David Lee I.T.
