This behaviour, although a bit surprising, is actually a feature. Use file's -E option to get a non-zero exit code in such a situation. http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/file.html#tag_20_46_10 states: | If the file named by the file operand does not exist, cannot be read, | or the type of the file named by the file operand cannot be | determined, this shall not be considered an error that affects the | exit status. The upstream bug report about this can be found at http://bugs.gw.com/view.php?id=316 Regards, Christoph
