What specific command are you using as <cmd>?
What version of OS X do you have? The first couple of OS X versions
used the tsch shelll. The most current versions use bash.
I use the following in my .vimrc:
" make sure Vim uses the bash shell
set shell=bash

Using Vim 7 on OS X, my command line use of shell commands works
properly, but when I use ':r !<cmd>' to read the output of a shell
command into a file, I consistently get the following error.
/bin/bash error on line 1
shell returned 1
E485 Can't read file /tmp/........
I'm pretty sure I've had this work on prior uses of Vim and am
guessing a setting is wrong, but I don't know which. Any suggestions?
TIA, Hal
