We'd like to report a problem with Digital Unix 4.[0|0A|0B] and would like to know if others have had similar experiences.
Sometimes ksh would behave very oddly, saying that /bin/pwd was not found, e.g.
myserv:/# cd mnt
sh[4]: /bin/pwd: not found
myserv:#
This was never seen during the time we had DUX3.X.Y! It can be solved, though, by simply trying again and again :-(
Maybe it has sth. to do with the following ksh funtion (quite useful: the current working directory, abbreviated when too long, in your prompt):
myserv:/# typeset -f
function xcd
{
"cd" $*
OLDPWD="$LOGPWD"
LOGPWD="$PWD"
PWD="`/bin/pwd`"
if [ ${#PWD} -gt 32 ]
then
typeset -L15 PWDl=$PWD # Mitte des Pfades ausblenden
typeset -R15 PWDr=$PWD
PWD="${PWDl}..${PWDr}"
fi
}
myserv:/#
Would be glad if it was a known bug...
