As a consumer running an elderly server with Lenny on it, I too congratulate you -- Wheezy is more fun than Lenny. They fixed a lot of stuff that gave me trouble with Lenny. >> I have a bunch of scripts >> >> (ls -1 ~/bin | wc >> 138 139 1302) >> >> with the first line #!/bin/sh that use bashisms, and the above >> would be a lot easier than editing each one (of course, maybe >> just editing each one would be easier than doing this ;-) ). May I suggest just changing the pointer from Dash back to Bash. You sound like somebody that stays with a release for a while, and this is would be a lot less work than editing all those scripts. Or maybe editing the top line of them from #!/bin/sh to #!/bin/bash, for the time being. You'll likely have to do significant editing and debugging eventually. But this way, you could do that at your pleasure and at your own speed. -- Glenn English -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
