Re: rewriting a readonly var should exit

Are you running BASH in POSIX mode? That's a option. Example: [tsh009@it-johnmckown-linux junk]$ cat ro.sh #!/bin/bash readonly x="x" x="y" echo "sno" [tsh009@it-johnmckown-linux junk]$ ./ro.sh ./ro.sh: line 3: x: readonly variable sno [tsh009@it-johnmckown-linux junk]$ vim ro.sh
