error.

Problem summary

****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED:  Users of IBM WebSphere Application Server   *
*                  Liberty on Solaris 5.10                     *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The server script uses syntax that is   *
*                      not valid for the bourne shell used on  *
*                      solaris 5.10                            *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
The server script includes a line that uses $(...) syntax for
command execution. This syntax is not valid for the bourne shell
used on solaris 5.10.

Problem conclusion

The server script will now use backquote syntax for command
execution.

The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fix
pack 16.0.0.3.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates page for
delivery information:
http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=180&uid=swg27004980

Temporary fix

The server script can be started using '/usr/xpg4/bin/sh server'
or 'ksh server' until a fix is available.
