Should :) I don't know any major -isms of our ash-based /bin/sh, but I do know that pdksh is one of the closest shells to true complete POSIX compliance, and I've been running with that as the MAKE_SHELL for a very, very long time -- and it even speeds up ports building significantly! Using zsh might be hard without adding something to turn off some of its very weird parsing, and I think bash would probably work, too. As for other shells, I'd place money on the Real ksh working for the job, and that's about all I can really think of. > -- > > John Baldwin -- http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ > PGP Key: http://www.cslab.vt.edu/~jobaldwi/pgpkey.asc > "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ -- Brian Fundakowski Feldman \ FreeBSD: The Power to Serve! / green@FreeBSD.org `------------------------------' To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
