retitle 421591 bash: test builtin (or [) does not behave correctly thanks As a summary, the following test at least does not behave correctly:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ test \( ! -e \) ; echo $? bash: test: `)' expected 2 And I think this one is also buggy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ test true -a \( ! -a \) ; echo $? bash: test: `)' expected 2 FYI, the coreutils and zsh test utility both output 1 on these tests; so does dash on the second one only.
