Subject: [9fans] Odd awk system() behavior on 9vx
Date: Wed, 29 Oct 2008 09:30:48 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <19579c32de0be369d78e701d4fafa1c6@9srv.net> (raw)
The following snippet works properly on native Plan 9 (and unix).
On 9vx, however:
:; awk '{system("echo "$0" | cat")}' words
sh: cat: cannot execute - Access denied
sh: cat: cannot execute - Access denied
Errors repeat until I kill the thing (or, presumably, words is out of
lines, but I won't wait that long). Putting anything else in cat's place,
like sum, gives the same results. Of course, cat (or whatever) works
fine on its own.
Any idea what's going on?
