MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii This is not too important, I'm just curious. In SL4, bash did process substitution using /dev/fd: bash> echo <( : ) /dev/fd/63 In SL5, for some reason it uses fifos: bash> echo <( : ) /tmp/sh-np-4248950500928 These files get left behind in /tmp after the command completes, which I find a bit annoying. :) I rebuilt bash from the SL src rpm, and this version of bash uses /dev/fd/ again. Does anyone know what the cause of this difference is (perhaps the SL bash rpms were built on a host without /dev/fd support)? When using SL5 bash interactively, I also get the message "interrupted system call" a few times a day. Not sure if this is related, but it is also annoying.
