Umm... As far as I can tell (and I just tested it) 'sh <command>' will NOT work,
unless <command> is a shell script. 'sh -c <command>' tells sh "execute this command
without entering interactive mode". 'sh <command>' says "execute this shell script
using the shell".
Also, was my execute "semi-patch" totally ignored?
(http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg02459.html) I haven't had the
time to do a correct patch, because I've been working on some new software that has
been a total PITA to write/debug/smash with sledgehammer.
