I have several scripts using getopts to parse the command line that must work for /bin/sh on both Solaris and cygwin. In the past, we've had to copy /bin/bash.exe to /bin/sh.exe to get around this problem. Now I'm finding that if I remove the "-j" from the getopts line in ash/builtins.def and rebuild, I get a shell consistent with sh on Solaris (and HP/UX, AIX, SVR4, ...). It seems like ash/builtins.def should only have "-j" for bgcmd, fgcmd, jobidcmd, and jobscmd. - Erik -- Want to unsubscribe from this list? Send a message to cygwin-unsubscribe@sourceware.cygnus.com
