Dang! I love this list.
Looks like I haven't done a "man cal" for many years. I didn't know
about "ncal".. lol.
I remember there was a note in the old Version 7 manuals about reading
the man pages periodically..
Thanks Ken!

to run in a subshell (fork()), so it

I semi-offered this, but it's not sufficient: the request is for something
that is not optional, enabled by default, not configurabl

It can be written in a much simpler way:
[[ $arg = /* ]]
Or:
case $arg in /*) ...
This part actually does look like

Hello list,
i have a strange problem in bash with the test command.
Here is my simple bash script 'tst' that checks wether the first char of
an argument is a slash.
If the first char of the argument is a special char like '(' then it
works if there is one expression,
but not with multiple express
Hi Greg,
The mere existence of -and ability to manage-, say, /etc/zshenv does not
enforce any particular policy
on a given system, it simply allows for the possibility to have a single
control point for all shell instances.
Unfortunately, a compile time option for bash, is not a feature at the sa

Hi.
I have had a need to know the number of the client port after successful
exec 4<>/dev/tcp/${host}/${port}
[..]
The attached patch stores the local, client port in the variable
LOCALPORT. Would you accept this new feature?

column, i.e. which `;`, the message refer
The following script is okay
set -ue
readonly -a a=('')
Yet, the following script fails with exit code 1
set -ue
readonly -a a=()
In my case, I would like to preserve a copy of all passed arguments:
set -ue
readonly -a ARGS=("${@}")
If no arguments are passed then the
21 matches
