Some of my shell scripts are now failing with SuSE 9.0. Prior to 9.0 the sort command would put anything starting with -Doug at the top, the - (dash) being the item of interest. This has worked on Unix etc as well as Linux until now.q
Now the - is being ignored and the letters following the dash are used for the sort.
Here is an example:
moose ant zebra -gosh
prior to 9.0 sort would do: -gosh ant moose zebra
after 9.0, I get. ant -gosh moose zebra
SuSE 9.0 is using. (However, 4.5.8 did not have this problem) sort (coreutils) 5.0 Written by Mike Haertel and Paul Eggert.
