GNU bash, version 5.0.17(1)-release (x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu) $ (set -e; false; echo BANG) || echo whimper BANG
$ (set -e; false; echo BANG); echo whimper whimper The || after the subshell seems to prevent set -e from being effective inside the subshell. Is this a bug or does it make sense in a way I don't understand? Thanks, Aron
