Hi All,
In Solaris 10,created a user with with ksh as the user shell.Created a
Symbolic link to one directory.
With the parent shell get into the directory and give pwd command.It
gives one out put.Started a child shell(ksh) and give the pwd command
this time I am getting a different output.Please see the example below
Created a temp_test/top directory in /opt/rajeev.Created a symbolic
link in /opt/rajeev as top.Now I am in the parent shell and get into top
(using cd command ) and if I give pwd it gives opt/rajeev/top and again
if start a ksh shell(child process) and gives pwd it shows
/opt/rajeev/temp_test/top.
$ pwd
/opt/rajeev
$ ls
temp_test
$ ln -s ./temp_test/top top
$ ls -ltr
total 4
drwxr-xr-x 3 rajeev other 512 Mar 3 16:04 temp_test
lrwxrwxrwx 1 rajeev other 15 Mar 3 16:05 top ->
./temp_test/top
$ ps
PID TTY TIME CMD
20259 pts/19 0:00 ps
20243 pts/19 0:00 ksh
$ cd top
$ pwd
/opt/rajeev/top
$ ksh
$ pwd
/opt/rajeev/temp_test/top
$ ps
PID TTY TIME CMD
20261 pts/19 0:00 ps
20260 pts/19 0:00 ksh
20243 pts/19 0:00 ksh
This change I found only in Solaris 10.Is this is bug or the feature of
ksh.I doubt about the feature since this is not happening in Solaris 9 &
8.
