It's a feature. When bash is invoked as sh it behaves in a more POSIX compliant manner. You can expect gratuitous bash behaviours to not always work. In this case I suspect (untested) that "config" is not an executable file. I strongly recommend that you try to always work with "sh" unless there's some amazing reason to rely on bash; that way your code will be portable to other UNIX systems. They all have "sh" but not all have bash. -- Cameron Simpson <[email protected]> DoD#743 http://www.cskk.ezoshosting.com/cs/ Sometimes you just need to look reality in the eye, and deny it. - Garrison Keillor -- fedora-list mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
