Question about pdksh
Hi folks,
somebody ha asked me why pdksh is located in /bin instead of
/bin/sh. He referred to the FSSTND. Shall I package pdksh so that it
only provides /usr/bin/ksh or shall it provide both /usr/bin/ksh _and_
/bin/ksh?
I would like to have an answer from one of the leader.
Quoting the FSSTND:
"
If /bin/sh is Bash, then /bin/sh should be a symbolic or hard link
to /bin/bash since Bash behaves differently when called as sh or
bash. pdksh, which may be the /bin/sh on install disks, should
likewise be arranged with /bin/sh being a symlink to /bin/ksh. The
use of a symbolic link in these cases allows users to easily see
that /bin/sh is not a true Bourne shell.
"
It's called /bin/ksh. This is the only appropriate place I found.
Regards,
Joey
