On both systems sh is _NOT_ bash. sh is ash which was written specifically for Linux to be a lightweight shell in order to increase processing speed. That depens on the Linux distribution, I believe. On my home system, sh is bash. And ash is older than Linux, methinks. Is ash supposed to be a full implementation os the POSIX shell? If not, you'll always run into scripts that are hash-banged with #!/bin/sh but contain constructs ash won't understand. Not a flame - I understand that there may be excellent reasons to avoid the full weight of bash in an emulated environment like Cygwin. -- Ian Zimmerman Lightbinders, Inc. 2325 3rd Street #324 San Francisco, California 94107 U.S.A. -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
