Hi, Using a non-known shell is deadly bad. cause then no portability, no ompatibility.
normal standard *Ksh has completion, "ESC-\" (of cours it needs "set vi" done (you can do it from .profile)) mksh is no-standard-ksh-compliant so you cannot use same scripts on other unix systems, other linux or BSD systems without risks. so you shouldn't use it but of course at home, or on a local network. so it is bad thing :D if it s bad it shouldn't exist, so we may kill evey users :D :D :D > ---------------------------------------- > From: Martin Pelikan <martin.peli...@gmail.com> > Sent: Thu Apr 28 14:12:39 CEST 2011 > To: <misc@openbsd.org> > Subject: Re: linux default shell, how annoying > > > 2011/4/22 frantisek holop <min...@obiit.org>: > > i imagine linux scripts often being full of bashims, so moving to dash > > must have meant for the debian people to go through their tree to get > > rid of those.
