Yes, because that's exactly what you're telling bash to do, if you run that command. If you don't want bash to do that, don't tell it to. This isn't a bug. It's just an example of the fact that any sufficiently powerful language will be able to express things you don't want to do. If the language were too limited to express anything you didn't want to do, it also wouldn't be able to express many things that you want to do. paul _______________________________________________ Bug-bash mailing list Bug-bash@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-bash
