Bash is a quite good shell (I've been using it for years until I discovered Zsh), but all new features of Bash have been in zsh for a (long?) time. > o A new `pipefail' option causes a pipeline to return a failure status if > any command in it fails Good. I prefer the usual behaviour, because that way you can 'hid' any error value in a pipeline if you want. But it can be a good option to have if you do a lot of scripting involving long pipelines whose last commands can be successful thus hiding errors. > o The `jobs', `kill', and `wait' builtins now accept job control notation > in their arguments even if job control is not enabled That's nice :)) Thanks for pointing. Is good to see that Bash is getting better. Is good to see that any free software goes better :) Raúl Núñez de Arenas Coronado -- Linux Registered User 88736 http://www.pleyades.net & http://raul.pleyades.net/
