Any OS which may have both a POSIX shell that a script may want to execute and a non-POSIX shell that is the user's shell. So basically all of them, especially if support for more non-POSIX shells such as csh, rc, scsh, fish, tclsh, is added in the future - or if a user's configuration supports them in the present by replacing or advising the function. It would mainly be useful in the presence of a broader mechanism, which doesn't exist yet, for executing POSIX shell scripts regardless of the user's interactive shell. > (I presume you mean the ELisp manual, because the doc string doesn't > mention overriding the function). Yes, I meant (info "(ELisp)Shell Arguments"), sorry.
