> POSIX shell incompatibilities
> ------------------------------
>
> Key: COUCHDB-169
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-169
> Project: CouchDB
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Infrastructure
> Environment: Solaris
> Reporter: Noah Slater
> Assignee: Noah Slater
> Priority: Blocker
> Fix For: 0.9
>
>
> > My local "checkbashisms" doesn't seem to complain at all. The [ ... ]
> > syntax is just a shortcut for "test" and I would prefer to avoid it if
> > possible. Could you check for me that using "test expr" wouldn't work in
> > its place.
>
>
> No, "test expr" doesn't work. After test you can only have arguments to test,
> not shell expressions. It is possible of course to do:
>
>
>
> if test `echo 2> /dev/null >> $PID_FILE; echo $?` -gt 0; then
>
>
>
> For proof, see the man page:
> http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/816-5165/test-1?l=en&q=man&a=view
>
>
> > This seems reasonable, though checkbashisms doesn't report anything.
> >
> >
> >
> > I am wondering if your Solaris shell is POSIXly correct. Could you provide
> > me with a pointer to its manual, please?
> >
>
>
> It doesn't get more POSIX than Solaris :).

> $ /bin/sh

>
> Here is the man page. Note that the "Command substitution" section doesn't
> mention anything about $() syntax.
