hello,
I got a lot of answers and i want to thank all the good people
that answer my question.
i choose to include only two answers because they represent
most of the answers.
The original question was :

The solutions :
===============
>From andy_gay@VNET.IBM.COM
shcat is a shell function defined in /etc/rcS. It's intended to do
what 'cat' does when the cat executable may not be available (if /usr
isn't mounted).
>From rtrzaska@uk.mdis.com
look in /etc/rcS which runs the scripts in /etc/rcS.d and you will find the function:
#
# shcat file
#
# Simulates cat in sh so it doesn't need to be on the root filesystem.
#
shcat() {
while test $# -ge 1
do
while read i
do
echo "$i"
done < $1
shift
done
}
================================
Thank again to all of you.
regards,
Stots
