This may have already been discussed and if so I apologize for bringing it up again. We are porting an application to a decstation 3100 under Ultrix 3.1. The default /bin/sh on this machine is a very ancient version of the bourne shell. A more up-to-date shell is provided as /bin/sh5. Does anyone have experience with renaming /bin/sh5 to be /bin/sh? If so, did this cause any problems? How much experience have you had with the system after doing it? Can we expect any problems with updating the system with Ultrix 3.X or whatever? Also, as a matter of some curiosity, will the ksh work as /bin/sh on this system? I have heard rumors that it didnt under Ultrix 3.0 but never what the problem was. Reply by email and if this topic hasnt been beaten to death already, I will summarize to the net. Chuck Clanton uunet!mcsun!cernvax!chx400!pan!aratar!chac
