Here is the envsubst man page for Oracle Solaris 11.2 :

envsubst - man pages section 1: User Commands

Both are supported on SPARC and x86-64 architectures, so why not just copy over your envsubst file(s) from your Solaris 10 box to Solaris 11 and test?

i thought about that and will give it a try... but i wanted to

just run

Code:

Pkg install

to do it smoothly...


v/r

It is a good idea not to get into the trap of installing everything with package managers, especially when they are not available or even older versions which might have a security flaw.

I never hesitate to build and / or install manually if a package is not available; and often I find the manual builds / installs are better because I understand it more completely when I do it myself.

The term "smooth" is relative.

In the time it takes to search the net and ask question in forums, you could have installed it manually
