Yes that is correct - on Solaris "mkdir -p /command" fails
(with errorcode 2 and the message 'mkdir: "/command": Exists but is not a
directory')
if /command is a symbolic-link to a directory (eg. directory
/usr/local/command)

yes that would be a highly portable solution - in order to make sure that
the symlink is followed on every strange system that ipsvd would end up
on...   :-)

But anyway Solaris is happy with the "test -d ..."
