I'm running: GNU bash, version 2.05b.0(1)-release (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 2002 Free Software Foundation, Inc. Kernel 2.4.22 on i686
When running a bash script from NFS, and a stale NFS file handle is generated (in my case from saving over the script while it's running, which is indeed a bad habit), the script dies with exit status zero. This should exit with a non-zero status, since it is an error condition. Here's the last bit of an strace from a script doing just that: rt_sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK, NULL, [RTMIN], 8) = 0 read(255, 0x80ef008, 8176) = -1 ESTALE (Stale NFS file handle) exit_group(0) = ? -Rob -- _________________________________________________ Rob Ewaschuk http://rob.infinitepigeons.org/ _______________________________________________ Bug-bash mailing list Bug-bash@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-bash
