Bash Version: 3.1 Patch Level: 17 Release Status: release Description: Assignment to GROUPS in logical or expression not testable. Repeat-By: GROUPS="hello" || echo Error should print "Error", since GROUPS="hello" echo $? returns 1 according to man page: " Assignments to GROUPS have no effect and return an error status." Problem seems to be persistent on all platforms and for instance on bash 3.00.16, too. Fix: Sorry, no fix so far. _______________________________________________ Bug-bash mailing list Bug-bash@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-bash
