Hi! Thanks for the strace ! It seems that there's a shell (bash) problem, but I cannot tell why. echo -e \'\\057home\' should write /home but you get 057home instead so the 'cd' fails
The relevant strace lines are: write(4, " cd ", 4) write(4, "\"`echo -e \'\\057home\'`\"", 22) = 22 write(4, "\n", 1) = 1 select(7, [4 6], NULL, NULL, NULL) = 1 (in [4]) read(4, " cd \"`e", 100) = 7 select(7, [4 6], NULL, NULL, NULL) = 1 (in [4]) read(4, "cho", 100) = 3 select(7, [4 6], NULL, NULL, NULL) = 1 (in [4]) read(4, " -e", 100) = 3 select(7, [4 6], NULL, NULL, NULL) = 1 (in [4]) read(4, " \'0", 100) = 3 select(7, [4 6], NULL, NULL, NULL) = 1 (in [4]) read(4, "57h", 100) = 3 select(7, [4 6], NULL, NULL, NULL) = 1 (in [4]) read(4, "om", 100) = 2 select(7, [4 6], NULL, NULL, NULL) = 1 (in [4]) read(4, "e\'`", 100) = 3 select(7, [4 6], NULL, NULL, NULL) = 1 (in [4]) read(4, "\"\r\n", 100) = 3 select(7, [4 6], NULL, NULL, NULL) = 1 (in [4]) read(4, "bash: cd: 057home: No such file "..., 100) = 46 -------------------^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ If you have any ideas...
