Solaris "read -e"
Hi,

Why does this piece of script work on a Solaris 10 test.sh script but if I include it in the request script of packaging generates errors?

Code:
        
until [ -n "$CONFIGCACHE" ] && [ -n "$prompt" ] && [ -z `echo $CONFIGCACHE | /usr/xpg4/bin/sed -e 's/[YN]//g' ` ]
        do
                echo -n "Do you want to configure Cache Manager? [Y/N] "
                read -e -n 1 CONFIGCACHE
                echo ""
                prompt=1
        done

In the request script it stops at read -e:
-n Do you want to configure Cache Manager? [Y/N]
/var/tmp//installe5aOBQ/checkinstallh5aOBQ: -e: is not an identifier
pkgadd: ERROR: request script did not complete successfully


If I replace "read -e -n 1" with simple read I get
/var/tmp//install0UaOMQ/checkinstall3UaOMQ: test: argument expected
pkgadd: ERROR: request script did not complete successfully


Thanks,
Bianca

pollrcvd

POLLRCVD(8)						      System Manager's Manual						       POLLRCVD(8)

NAME

       pollrcvd - HylaFAX script for delivering facsimile received by polling

SYNOPSIS

       /var/spool/hylafax/bin/pollrcvd mailaddr faxfile devid commid error-msg

DESCRIPTION

       bin/pollrcvd  is the command script invoked by the HylaFAX server whenever a facsimile is received as a result of a polling operation.  The
       default script uses electronic mail to deliver the facsimile to the user that submitted the poll request, and can be controlled by  editing
       the etc/PollDispatch shell script in the spooling area that is sourced by pollrcvd when it runs.  The arguments are:

       mailaddr  the electronic mail address of the user that submitted the poll request.

       faxfile	 the pathname of the received TIFF file relative to the root of the spooling hierarchy.

       commid	 The communication identifier associated with the call (used to include a transcript when an error occurs).

       devid	 the modem device on which the document was received.

       error-msg an error message that is non-null if an error was encountered during the receive operation.

NOTES

       The default script delivers facsimile as PostScript wrapped in MIME.

FILES

       /var/spool/hylafax   spooling area
       /usr/sbin/faxinfo    for printing information about the facsimile
       /usr/bin/fax2ps	    for converting TIFF to PostScript
       /usr/lib/sendmail    for delivering mail
