This message is coming from my 32-bit "hot backup" gentoo machine. For some reason, any script that I call on my 64-bit machine immediately returns to the command prompt. No warnings or error messages or diagnostics. Builtins and compiled executables work OK. For instance, if I have a script named "xyz" that goes like so...
#!/bin/bash man bash ..., executing "xyz" or "~/bin/xyz" results in bash immediately returning to to the command prompt. If I type "man bash", it works OK. On top of everything else, getmail seems to go into "forkbomb mode", generating a gazillion processes, and eventually locking up the machine, if I type in... /usr/bin/getmail -v -v -v --rcfile rc_cotse It looks like the script is being totally ignored, e.g... waltdnes@i3 ~ $ emerge anyone home? waltdnes@i3 ~ $ Any ideas what gives? -- Walter Dnes <waltd...@waltdnes.org>
