Subject: zsh blocks at file truncation
Date: Sat, 21 Sep 2013 12:40:31 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <12896374.TIKZVcXBhR@localhost.localdomain> (raw)

Hi all,

Like most others I am trying to move from bash to zsh as my default shell.

On zsh, Why does the following block indefinitely?

$ >file.txt

On bash, the above would truncate a file. Also, on bash 'file.txt'
would be created if it does on exist.

After some debugging, I found that the above command blocked at the
invocation of the 'cat' command (as provided by 'ps -c <pid>').

Thanks,
chandan
