It's reasonable for a script to do 'eval "`dircolors`"', and this is in the manual. Scripts might be run in any directory, including /tmp, so it's reasonable to recommend a safe way to invoke dircolors. On the other hand, scripts normally don't (and shouldn't) do 'rm *' in random directories, and we don't recommend that. _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
