That looks like the stuff I wrote a while back.
It relies on the daemon(8) utility, which exists in FreeBSD and Linux
but is _not_ mandated by POSIX and doesn't appear on Solaris.
Just do this:
( /local1/usr/local/sbin/popb4smtp-watch & ) &&
echo -n ' popb4smtp-watch'
( /local1/usr/local/sbin/popb4smtp-clean & ) &&
echo -n ' popb4smtp-clean'
That will work with any POSIX-conformant shell.
Please let me know where you found this stuff so I can notify the
distributor of this issue. If you just found it in the mailing list
archives, then I don't care because anyone else who has this problem
will find this answer in the archives too. :-)
Ciao,
