[cfarm-users] POSIX shells

[Paul Eggert]

If you're interested in porting to Solaris 10, I suggest reading the 
Autoconf documentation, which talks about the various pitfalls of 
Solaris 10's multiple implementation of awk, sh, grep, etc.  See:

https://www.gnu.org/savannah-checkouts/gnu/autoconf/manual/autoconf-2.72/html_node/Portable-Shell.html

Last year Oracle extended Solaris 10's end-of-support date by three 
years to January 2027. Evidently enough paying customers are using it 
that Oracle can still make money maintaining it. I had been hoping we 
could stop worrying about its quirks sooner than that; oh well.
