Hi NG,

I am writing a script that runs on various UNIX derivatives. For every
derivative, specific commands are executed.

For Linux, AIX and HP-UX the script is running ok.
The next derivative to be implemented is SunOS. SunOS comes up with
the following problem:

In order handle all the derivatives in ONE script, there is a separate
function for each derivative within the script. This function is
accessed, if the script is executed on this derivative.


....
function Linux
(
....
)

function AIX
(
....
)

function HPUX
(
....
)
....
etc.

The problem in SunOS is, that the command 'function' is not
implemented into the Bourne shell.

Question:
How can the script for SunOS be modified, so that it is still running
on the other derivatives?

TIA,
Henning

Either use /usr/xpg4/bin/sh or use:

foo ()

rather than
function foo
