Hi,

I use ksh as /bin/sh bcoz pdksh is far more performant than bash
(the same heavy script takes around 2.5 mins using ksh and around 6 mins
using bash !)
$ ls -l /usr/bin/sh
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 2010-02-08 17:11 /usr/bin/sh -> ksh.exe

But :

package version : cron-4.1-57.tar.bz2

$ cron-config
/usr/bin/cron-config[853]: [: >: unexpected operator/operand
Cron is already installed as a service under account .yg_server.Do you
want to remove or reinstall it? (yes/no)

=> the first line should be #!/bin/bash, not #!/bin/sh

/bin/sh is not necesserally bash. if your script needs
bash extensions, you must use #!/bin/bash.

Regards,

PS : don't know why I can't submit to -apps while I'm subscribed !
