On the Solaris system I'm using, you can specify a set of sequence of
scripts that will run at the time the system is booted or shut down. I
have replaced a pair (startup / shutdown) of scripts that was
originally written in Korn shell with an improved version in Perl. The
Perl versions have been working fine, but lately I am hearing vague
grumblings from Sys Admins here about the use of Perl scripts for
system startup / shutdown sequences. The Admins are claiming that it
is bad practice to write them in any language but shell. Does anyone
here have any info on this issue?
