The makefile:
all: ; ps
tells me:
bash-2.05$ make -f ../foo.mk
ps
PID PPID PGID WINPID TTY UID STIME COMMAND
317 1 317 317 -1 500 14:59:36 /bin/bash
461 317 461 549 -1 500 14:59:41 /usr/bin/make
591 461 461 224 -1 500 14:59:41 /bin/sh
662 591 461 585 -1 500 14:59:41 /usr/bin/ps
that make is invoking /bin/sh in order to invoke /usr/bin/ps.
Why isn't make invoking /usr/bin/ps directly?
