The script eval export dir=~$LOGNAME echo $dir
eval dir2=~$LOGNAME echo $dir2 produces different results on different shells. bash (4.2-2ubuntu2.1) (with and without --posix) zsh (4.3.17-1ubuntu1) ksh (93u-1) produce /home/buildbot /home/buildbot dash (0.5.7-2ubuntu2) ash (0.5.7-2ubuntu2) produce ~buildbot /home/buildbot The easy workaround is to use the older form eval dir=~$LOGNAME export dir but it'd be nice if that weren't needed. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe dash" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
