I'm not asking to remove GREP_OPTIONS from grep. I'm saying that in system scripts, such as the stuff in /etc/init.d/*, should some how ignore GREP_OPTIONS. I broke scripts by setting GREP_OPTIONS in non- obvious ways.
It's really hard to track down these problems, so maybe we should unset them automatically in /etc/init.d/* scripts and other system scripts. -- Please create and enforce a system-wide policy to unset GREP_OPTION by default https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/67141 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
