The SUSv2 says that system uses the 'sh' utility. it doesn't say that it uses the SHELL environment variable if certain prerequisites are met. >I know that you always have trouble with users who copy /bin/bash to >/bin/sh, it's a monthly issue on the mailing list. Actually, I don't think this is a really big issue. >My patch would solve this in an easy way. This is not a new idea. It has been discussed a lot over the years. I think this is one of the places where UWIN and Cygwin differ in matters of philosophy. I know that UWIN does a lot of extra stuff like this. It's basically a matter of where you draw the line, I think. I don't see any reason to add this extra processing to cygwin. cgf -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
