Just one more question, by > running multiple commands works by luck, not by design, do you mean, by > design you don't want to run multiple commands? correct. shell features like pipes, redirection, &&, ||, ; for I in a b v; do exec blah; done etc. - just open a can of worms. you start supporting them and how much DO you support? before you know you you implemented a full shell script parser and executor in E. it happens to work by luck because it is passed to /bin/sh to execute in such a way that it can be executed by the shell correctly. it bypasses the shell if it sees special meta characters that shells use ($, ;, & etc.) in the command. remember to execute something via the shell FIRST requires the shell to execute and so its thing THEN the app u actually wanted. if you have ever traced and watched what is involved in executing a program you might actually know why you want to avoid an exec if it can be avoided. :) > >>>> so it is dropping the part after the &&.
