Folks:
Some of my shell scripts are now failing with SuSE 9.0.
Prior to 9.0 the sort command would put anything starting with
-Doug
at the top, the - (dash) being the item of interest. This has worked
on Unix etc as well as Linux until now.q
Now the - is being ignored and the letters following the dash are used
for the sort.
Here is an example:
moose
ant
zebra
-gosh
prior to 9.0 sort would do:
-gosh
ant
moose
zebra
after 9.0, I get.
ant
-gosh
moose
zebra
SuSE 9.0 is using. (However, 4.5.8 did not have this problem)
sort (coreutils) 5.0
Written by Mike Haertel and Paul Eggert.
Cheers,
Bob
