Path: utzoo!utgpu!jarvis.csri.toronto.edu!rutgers!netnews.upenn.edu!lfk From: lfk@mbio.med.upenn.edu (Lee Kolakowski) Newsgroups: gnu.bash.bug Subject: Bash Bug in parsing/job control Message-ID: Date: 16 Jul 89 01:00:58 GMT Sender: news@netnews.upenn.edu Distribution: usa Organization: University of Pennsylvania, Dept. of Chemistry Lines: 39 This is bash 1.02 on a Sun3/140 compiled with cc from Sun, in Sunos 4.0 $ make & ; ls syntax error near `;' Why???? This is legal in sh and csh. Also, I was having problems with messages from the shell showing up in my RMAIL file inside emacs. I put export mailpath="" in my ~/.bashrc and those problems went way, seems to be a bash/emacs weirdism. Also why if on the command line I define a variable $ TEST_VAR=junk does it show up in the environment without explicitly being exported? BTW, a great shell, even if it does have small probs. -- Frank Kolakowski ===================================================================== |lfk@mbio.med.upenn.edu || Lee F.
