NeXT distributes /bin/jsh but no man page that I can see.
what is it? (obviously a shell but any redeeming qualities?)
any reason I shouldnt delete it to save space?
flame on
P.S. why dont they ship a superior alternate shell like tcsh :)
or at least a man page. I just cant fathom why they would
distribute it this way. if its good, add a man page.
if not, then ship something else in that space
flame off

It's a version of sh with job control enabled, probably derived from the BRL sh, maybe from Arnold Robbins's work (from 1984!) to put BRL's job control code into the 4.2 BSD sh. >any reason I shouldnt delete it to save space? It's a hard link to /bin/sh, won't save anything.

It seems to be a hard link to /bin/sh. Try ls -i /bin/sh /bin/jsh. I don't know if anything uses it. >any reason I shouldnt delete it to save space? Since it is a hard link, it wouldn't save space to delete it. David Koski
