This is a terrible PATH: it searches the local directory for executables (which one should never ever ever do as it is a security hole you can drive a truck through), and not once, but twice: before everything else and afterwards _again_. > Your enemy puts cp somewhere like /tmp/cp, makes it world-executable, > then waits for someone to cd /tmp and copy some files. I see that was the point you were trying to make, but it does not start like that. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
