Hi, Try the following script:
=== begin testexec.sh === #!/bin/ksh exec 5<&0 /bin/ksh <<EOSH echo "First exec: Done." exec 0<&5 echo "Second exec: Done." exit 0 EOSH ==== end testexec.sh ==== (Replace ksh with bash or zsh at will, above.) For me, this prints ``First exec: Done.'', then leaves me to type shell-commands, _which are executed_, until I press EOF (^D). In ash it prints '' First exec: Done. Second exec: Done. '', as I expected. Compare p.e. === begin testexec2.sh === #!/bin/bash echo 'echo "First exec: Done." exec 0<&5 echo "Second exec: Done." exit 0' |exec 5<&0 /bin/bash ==== end testexec2.sh ==== , which also performs as expected. Has anybody got a clue? Is this cygwin-specific? Are all these shells borrowing code from eachother?
