Hi Simon, >What is the value of the SHELL env var with ksh88? Instead of doing an >"aix" check, would you be able to tell from that variable that the shell >is ksh88, and update expectations accordingly? # env | grep SHELL SHELL=/usr/bin/ksh It is ksh. Yes, we can use that. Sending you a v2 version of this patch with the same. Thanks and regards, Aditya.
