Why chances are that you do, I wouldn't do that unless the rest of the script contains commands specific to bash. Somebody on the system might actually be running pdsh, csh or zcsh.

Lodewijk can't give you any URL, because his claim was ill documented. One of the problem of developping a HPFS driver is precisely because the official specs were never released (Guess why: because that's one of the few parts of OS/2, with the "flat memory" system that was actually designed and written by M$ during the days of collaboration between the 2. Althought the source code agreement officially ended in 1996 (yes, ninety-six), there are still parts of the code which M$ locked almost forever. This is my own interpretation and might not be borne out by the facts). Afaik, all available information is hacked and has been put together by a guy in Australia. I can't remember the URL, but a look on the usual search engine should turn it up. Francois Thunus Miksi Internetissa: puhutaan englantia ?

Debian is being installed with bash 2.0, Slackware with the last 1.x (1.14?) This bash is being reported as not 100% backwards-compatible. Until now I only had to change some $[expr] in my scripts into $((expr)). I tried your above-mentioned script and I noticed that the function it's installing had no ending ';' at the end of the command-group. As in: { cmd1; cmd2; } ^ this one is missing. It seems bash 1.x accepts this and bash 2.0 doesn't. _ Greetings, |_)anny, LIVR! --- FEddi 0.9pl7 via ifcico * Origin: Powdered ToastMan * Oostende * Debian/GNU Linux (2:291/1805.666) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 241 LINUX Ref: EGP00022 Date: 12/10/97 From: TOMER GABEL Time: 04:10pm \/To: ALL (Read 5 times) Subj: Finally! #pragma GREET #define VICTIM All #pragma END I ordered a Linux package about two weeks ago from Cheapbytes.
