Yeah - but Solaris' /bin/sh isn't POSIX compliant, it's a broken evil thing - I'm fairly sure that they haven't bothered to fix it yet because a lot of people worked round the fact that solaris had a broken /bin/sh by default and so wrote around the broken shell.
I quite agree, but that doesn't change the fact that I have to develop and maintain code on Solaris.
Not got bash installed on there for sanity, then? (The solaris boxen we have "laying about", i.e. customer kit that we maintain things on, have all got bash installed - bash is the way forwards for a non-broken shell on slowarsis! Long live bash! Err, or sommit like that :)
