Hi! ----
Is there a way in ksh93 to switch to "restricted" (=rksh) mode during runtime of the shell ? The idea is to switch to "restricted" within a suub-shell when processing some user input... I tried "set -o restricted" to switch to "restricted" mode but that fails like this: -- snip -- % ksh -c 'true ; (set -o restricted ; echo "foo" ; exec >/blabla) ; true' ksh[1]: set: restricted: bad option(s) Usage: set [-sabefhkmnptuvxBCGH] [-A name] [-o[option]] [arg ...] -- snip -- Is there any other way ? ---- Bye, Roland -- __ . . __ (o.\ \/ /.o) roland.mainz at nrubsig.org \__\/\/__/ MPEG specialist, C&&JAVA&&Sun&&Unix programmer /O /==\ O\ TEL +49 641 7950090 (;O/ \/ \O;)
