I love poking sticks into hornets' nests, so I can't resist mentioning that coreutils "true" sometimes returns false:
$ ./true --version >&- ./true: write error: Bad file number $ echo $? 1 This is not a POSIX conformance issue, since "true" always returns true if POSIXLY_CORRECT is set; still, perhaps true's exit-status behavior should either be documented (if it's what's desired) or changed (if not). _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
