Re: problem with egrep and fgrep

[Warren L Dodge]

Well, ok I know how to deal with this. But I think in the world there are
going to be mixed environments when some can put in the gnu path and others
can't. Like where I work.

In trying to make everything work seamlessly in solaris 8, solaris 2.5 and
linux this is one more thing that causes a problem.

A thought I just had is that when the install is done why can't you put the
full path into the wrappers? It seems that would fix it and actually I
believe be faster since it wouldn't have to trace the path. 


#!/bin/sh
exec /install/dir/bin/grep -E ${1+"$@"}
