Dear all.

Here I got a question.
see this BASH code:

[j...@localhost ~]$ echo $(echo $(echo $(echo $(pgrep bash))))
> 4840 6508 6509 6510 6511
> [j...@localhost ~]$ echo $(echo $(echo $(pgrep bash)))
> 4840 6474 6475 6476
> [j...@localhost ~]$ echo $(echo $(pgrep bash))
> 4840 6482 6483
> [j...@localhost ~]$ echo $(pgrep bash)
> 4840
> [j...@localhost ~]$ pgrep bash
> 4840
>

why don't the last two follow the pattern?

but if I do this, the pattern seems to be followed nicely.

> [j...@localhost ~]$ echo $(echo $(pgrep bash | grep [1-9]*))
> 4840 6531 6532
> [j...@localhost ~]$ echo $(pgrep bash | grep [1-9]*)
> 4840 6523
> [j...@localhost ~]$ pgrep bash | grep [1-9]*
> 4840
>

Can anyone explain this "pattern" problem?
Thank you very much, guys!

Joey
