There is a configuration variable that can be set to use
a particular shell other than the default sh -- TET_EXEC_TOOL
in the tetexec.cfg file.

Also when you install you can choose which compatible shell
bindings to use -- xpg3sh or posix sh -- useful if your system's
default shell is not up to posix yet.
Once you have the harness installed you can then build
and execute just the POSIX.shell section and the POSIX.cmd/sh testset

Its generic and not tuned to any particular POSIX operating system.
The main part of the work we are doing on the lsb test efforts, is
to parameterize these POSIX tests and to make them auto install
them for Linux.
