Using "dash" will catch bash-isms, and is pretty commonly available, I think. But this behavior, IIRC, happens on FreeBSD's /bin/sh, which is derived from "ash" (so is "dash", but I they have long since diverged). There are even more quirks on more exotic systems, I expect, though I have to admit that I gave up on Solaris and just started using bash there. :) So I don't think there is a catch-all shell that will help you, but some "ash" variant is probably your best bet. -Peff -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
