Package: coreutils Version: 8.5-1 Severity: wishlist File: /bin/echo It would be really useful to have /bin/fail, which could just be a symlink to /bin/echo and would cause it to print to stderr instead of stdout, and to exit non-zero.
/bin/warn, OTOH, could write to stderr, but not alter the exit code. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.33-2-amd64 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_GB, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages coreutils depends on: ii libacl1 2.2.49-2 Access control list shared library ii libattr1 1:2.4.44-1 Extended attribute shared library ii libc6 2.10.2-9 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libselinux1 2.0.94-1 SELinux runtime shared libraries coreutils recommends no packages. coreutils suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- .''`. martin f. krafft <madd...@d.o> Related projects: : :' : proud Debian developer http://debiansystem.info `. `'` http://people.debian.org/~madduck http://vcs-pkg.org `- Debian - when you have better things to do than fixing systems
