No, the authors of the startup scripts (at least the startup scripts included in Red Hat Linux) that use bashisms have their script call /bin/bash, so if you wanted to make /bin/sh something else, it should be fine (as long as it really understands the full POSIX syntax; that is expected of /bin/sh). -- Chris Adams <cmadams@xxxxxxxxxx> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble. -- Shrike-list mailing list Shrike-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/shrike-list
