Indeed - the fact that I'm on this mailing list saved my employer 
several man-days of debugging shell scripts again this time (same thing 
2 years ago).

Solaris 2.9's shell just doesn't like:

      [ "$AAP" ] && ! echo "$AAP" | grep XY

(it complained about "!: not found").

I knew I had to try to change the #!/bin/sh on the first line to 
#!/bin/ksh and - bingo, it worked !
