To both categories of users, all the utilities and environemnt MUST be the same in terms commands and expected behaviours. I am after some good tips for maintaing a large and complex environemnt (some 40 developers) without having to double the effort for writing 2 different flavours of scripts. Thanks in advance. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.2i iQCVAwUBMIx/ZEmThh0X7Um5AQGDNAQAqXuZAKxgXfByMcyNAe9iEvXBDjtbXvSM ZyzJ0jVfy46PTs6QrUqjIRSwfeqTdhD7RZktQGA5ttJgS4/+oOW0kaVs7GF++PYb iYNemD/taDVUmFiaS6MOpinngkI4f9kHr3QuatpoYJeQp09CoM/bq3k5+by1lHhX V0eZboMBWSQ= =IdDi -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
