Why? Please give a technical argument in favour of this and not just some stupid emotional attachment to the "Solaris way". > > Instead of going to Bash I would vote for > multi-media traings which show and teach Ksh and the > coming Ksh(93 I think) and its diffs to Bash so that > people learn the Solaris way. Not necessary. bash is available for Solaris and I do not fancy learning another shell. > Maybe even showing how system relevant shell scripts > in some linux distributions could be implemented in > Ksh so that one can develop for *Linux and > (Open)Solaris. You must be off your rocker. Why would I want to port, for example, Redhat's initscripts and the /etc/sysconfig directory to Solaris. Or do you want to tackle Debian's? Even within Linux space, system scripts are already a headache when moving from one Linux distro to another.

One can very well use bash in his own shell scripts if one fancies.
