System name: pianoforte
Type and version: SPARC/5 8.1.2 (with mkserv)
Display type: cgthree
What were you trying to do?
Determine whether bin directories exist for other platforms
using the -s option. e.g.
athdir -p /mit/1.34 -t bin -s sgi_52
athdir -p /mit/1.34 -t bin -s sgi_52
What's wrong:
If the directory exists, it looks like athdir falls back to the
platform on which I run the command. Is it supposed to do this?
athena% athdir -p /mit/1.34 -t bin -s sgi_52
/mit/1.34/arch/sgi_52/bin
but
athena% athdir -p /mit/1.34 -t bin -s sgi_53
/mit/1.34/sun4bin
What should have happened:
I think it should return nothing if no binary directory exists.
The SGI seems to behave this way.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
This is also happens on an 8.0 Sun.
