But bash in compatibility mode isn't true Bourne shell. For instance, /bin/sh on a Solaris box doesn't support the "==" operator either. This is a case where ASH is doing the right thing. If you put #!/bin/sh at the beginning of your script, you should only use pure Bourne shell commands. You'd do better with #!/usr/bin/bash instead. Or if bash isn't in /usr/bin on your Unix boxes, there may be some trick using #!/bin/sh along with a conditional exec (similar to the trick used in many Tcl scripts), but I'd have to think about it. -Jerry Williams -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
