Hi Richard, Thanks for pointing out the typo in my test script. It should be “set -e” or “set -o errexit” (which I think are equivalent) instead of “set -e errexit”.
I should have mentioned that the change in behaviour is not limited to the case when _both_ the errexit option and ERR trap are enabled. It also applies when either option is enabled individually - neither of them is triggered by an error in a pipeline (in ksh-93u+). As the change in behaviour does not seem to be documented, I suspect that a bug was introduced in ksh somewhere between 93t+ and 93u+. Is there a formal way to report a bug in Korn shell, other than sending email to this list? Regards, Milton. _______________________________________________ ast-users mailing list ast-users@lists.research.att.com http://lists.research.att.com/mailman/listinfo/ast-users
