Package: dash Version: 0.5.12-12 Severity: normal Tags: upstream
Hey. When using command -v command_name POSIX mandates[0] the following (amongst others): "Executable utilities, regular built-in utilities, command_names including a <slash> character, and any implementation-provided functions that are found using the PATH variable (as described in 2.9.1.4 Command Search and Execution), shall be written as absolute pathnames." Now I have a script "foo" in .bin/ : dash: $ PATH="./bin/:$PATH" $ command -v pwg ./bin//pwg $ bash: $ PATH="./bin/:$PATH" $ command -v pwg ./bin/pwg $ bash --posix: $ PATH="./bin/:$PATH" $ command -v pwg /home/calestyo/./bin/pwg $ I think POSIX is clear that it should be an absolute pathname. :-) Cheers, Chris.
