No, I quite agree. Didn't meant to imply it did. > I think the non-zero exit status is sufficient. Esp. in scripts. Well, folder(1) is kind of cd and mkdir in one. With -nocreate, I'm cd-ing to the folder, and cd complains when the directory's missing. I agree I should notice the lack of "/this/does/not/exist+ has no messages.", but the Unix norm is silence if all's well so I've been conditioned. My following commands, in the wrong folder, can wreak havoc. :-) Cheers, Ralph. _______________________________________________ Nmh-workers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
