Bash scripts may misbehave if SHELLOPTS is exported and 'monitor' is enabled

2007-01-03 Thread David Picton
I have noticed that a few scripts misbehave if SHELLOPTS is exported, or defined in the environment before bash is first invoked. (I had set SHELLOPTS=igncr in the system environment - but I've backed this out to avoid the problems). The problems seem to be caused by incorrect signal handling.

Bash 3.1.9 and 3.2.4: igncr setting not effective for 'source'd files

2006-10-31 Thread David Picton
Unfortunately I have to report that both versions of bash don't implement the igncr setting if commands are read from a sourced file. For example, I have /etc/profile set up to issue shopt -s igncr # as the first line (or set -o igncr; export SHELLOPTS # for version 3.2.4) If I do unix2dos

X server version 6.8.99.901

2006-07-17 Thread David Picton
I've updated the X software to 6.8.99.901 and noticed two problems with the new X server: 1. CNTL-ALT-BKSP doesn't terminate the server cleanly. There's no confirmation dialogue and /tmp/.X11-unix/X0 is not deleted. However, the new server does terminate properly if I right-click the X icon

I have encountered a problem with the sshd server when the client specifies X11 passthru i.e. ssh -Y or ssh -X. The allocation of virtual displays doesn't work correctly if two or more X11-enabled sessions run at the same time. As I understand it, the server should give each session a unique
