Thanks for pointing this out.

Probably the best solution is to change the test program to
use instead of the shell to use, since not all systems have bash
or ksh.

if test ! -e $ARCHIVE_DIR/$DATE; then

to

if /bin/test ! -e $ARCHIVE_DIR/$DATE; then

I tested this (not the script, use the test portion) on Solaris 2.6
and Solaris 2.8 and it works fine.

Best,
Blair
