Because it's /bin/sh, not /bin/bash. Unfortunately, too many Linux systems have a /bin/sh that's actually bash. This leads to portability problems when you try to run things like install shell scripts that point to /bin/sh but actually have bash features in them. I wish more people would realize that not all the world is a Linux system. Bill _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
