Description
There are no appreciable differences between these files. It may be a better idea to have a base "posix" class and create new files for exceptions to the base behaviour. (e.g. UNIXProcess.java.solaris)
Comments
Here's a preview of an attempt to merge all 4 UNIXProcess.java.[linux|bsd|solaris|aix] variants into common source: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~plevart/jdk9-dev/UNIXProcess/webrev.01/ It's not finished yet (OS resolving code missing - only for Linux currently, but it resembles the logic currently present in jdk9-dev - just refactored)
