RE: {bb} BB fix/patch for bin utils?

["Kimberly McKinnis" <kmckinnis@macrovision.com>]

You must have missed my original posts... I used 
find . -name "*.sh" -exec egrep -ibH "tail -[^n]" {} \;
and
find . -name "*.sh" -exec egrep -ibH "head -[^n]" {} \;
To show where it's being used. Unless I'm misunderstanding what you're
saying. I have already manually changed it on several hundred
machines... 

And I'm running Gentoo Linux. The bbconfig generally doesn't like gentoo
as an input and just uses Linux. 
*sigh*

Do this in your bbc and bbd folders:

grep -rl 'HEAD -' *

this will give you the name of every file that utilizes "$HEAD -" 
(remove the 'l' option if you want to see the actual context)...you'll
notice that the args are given within the ext script or page generation
script explicitly...the only way to fix this is to do it manually to my
knowledge.  I'd make a copy of the original first so that I could create
a patch to apply whenever I upgraded.

that being said, I don't know what OS you are utilizing but I thought
the makefile would ensure the correctness...I am using it under several
different OSes and they all look to have the correct arguments set
up...(ie, under rhel 2.1, I see '-1', under solaris I see '-n 1', etc).
