[ksh93-integration-discuss] Bourne vs. ksh93 startup time... / was: Re: [pkg-discuss] 142 Replace /sbin/sh with ksh93

[Glenn Fowler]

by "Bourne shell" do you mean bash?

what is the system(3) implementation?
when you test the "bourne shell" system() vs the ksh93 system()
how do you tell system() to exclusively use one shell over the other?

what is the output of
	ldd "bourne shell"
vs
	ldd ksh93
