hi ,
I hv inherited a few Solaris boxes (Solaris 8) and I installed the latest SUNWexplo package(4.1.1) on them . However , when i try to run it ...it returns the foll error and exits
./explorer[49]: sed: not found
./explorer[55]: ksh: not found
./explorer[85]: cat: not found
./explorer[86]: ps: not found
./explorer[86]: grep: not found
./explorer[86]: grep: not found
./explorer[86]: grep: not found
./explorer[86]: wc: not found
./explorer[87]: test: argument expected
Explorer starting.
./explorer[32]: date: not found
./explorer[32]: uname: not found
./explorer[32]: date: not found
./explorer[32]: sed: not found
./explorer[32]: uname: not found
Root's shell is /sbin/sh which on my boxes are linked to /usr/bin/bash (/usr is not a separate file system ,but is part of / ) .i tried running sh explorer, ksh explorer etc ...still it gives same error . Any idea why this is happening ?
I can think of some workarounds
1) remove the link to /usr/bin/bash and copy /sbin/sh from another machine running the same OS
2) change root's shell in /etc/passwd to /bin/ksh .
Just wanted to know if the above workarounds are safe ...or will I land up with a broken system
Thanks
