Re: Bash manual - possible minor formatting issue

In the description of the "x" option, the second "for" in the first sentence is formatted as inline code but I believe it should be formatted as regular text. So instead of "arithmetic `for` commands" I believe it should be "arithmetic for commands" all in regular text. If I am mistaken then please ignore this email. Thanks for the report. In this use, `for' is a reserved word, and reserved words are emphasized in the text. -- ``The lyf so short, the craft so long to lerne.'' - Chaucer ``Ars longa, vita brevis'' - Hippocrates Chet Ramey, UTech, CWRUc...@case.eduhttp://tiswww.cwru.edu/~chet/

Re: FEATURE REQUEST : shell option to automatically terminate child processes on parent death

Hence the "run_with_pdeathsig" builtin that sets it only for the child created to execute the command. If target-specific features are an issue, I won't push that proposal any further. I'd look at a loadable builtin for this. With that approach, you can be as selective as you want, and extend it to children or mess around with subreapers. A loadable builtin is appropriate for a feature that only works on Linux. -- ``The lyf so short, the craft so long to lerne.'' - Chaucer ``Ars longa, vita brevis'' - Hippocrates Chet Ramey, UTech, CWRUc...@case.eduhttp://tiswww.cwru.edu/~chet/
