Hi! I have found a discrepancy between documentation (man page) and behavior of Bash under -e switch. In documentation it is written:
The shell does not exit if the command that fails is part of the command list immediately following a while or until keyword, part of the test in an if statement, part of a && or || list, or if the command's return value is being inverted via !. And it is true, this does not exit: #!/bin/bash -e echo "Before" false && false echo "After" but strange is that this does: #!/bin/bash -e echo "Before" false || false echo "After" Why is that? Is this a bug? A documentation discrepancy? I am running GNU bash, version 3.2.17(1)-release (i386-apple-darwin9.0). Mitar
