Hello dear bash-bug readers, I'm quite sure I have found a micro-bug in the bash which should take about two lines of code to fix -- if you know where to put them. I tried to locate the problem myself, but the innards of bash traps remain a mystery to me. Anyway, the description is here:
https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/bash/+bug/41082 For your convenience, I'm replicating the report here: >>>>> When a DEBUG trap is set, it overwrites the current foreground job's job name (name as seen in the 'jobs' listing). Reproduction: 1. set trap, e.g. trap echo DEBUG 2. launch foreground process 3. Ctrl+Z to background it 4. type 'jobs' Example: sh-3.1$ sleep 600 & [1] 2870 sh-3.1$ jobs [1]+ Running sleep 600 & sh-3.1$ fg sleep 600 [1]+ Stopped(SIGTSTP) sleep 600 sh-3.1$ trap echo DEBUG sh-3.1$ fg sleep 600 [1]+ Stopped(SIGTSTP) sleep 600 sh-3.1$ sleep 600 [2]+ Stopped(SIGTSTP) echo sh-3.1$ jobs [1]- Stopped(SIGTSTP) sleep 600 [2]+ Stopped(SIGTSTP) echo sh-3.1$ <<<<< Obviously, both job names should be "sleep 600" since the echo has already executed and is in a trap anyway. I would be very grateful if someone in the know would spend a few thoughts on this one :-) For the record: I'm running bash version "3.1.17(1)-release", at least that's what Ubuntu calls it, should be up-to-date. -- Best Regards, | Hi!
