Subject: Procmail rejects zsh as being "broken"
Date: Thu, 1 Aug 1996 12:28:50 +0400 (MOW) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <Pine.SV4.3.95.960801121636.4508C-100000@itsrm1> (raw)
Hi!
I recently installed procmail-3.11pre4 under zsh-3.0pre4. When running
'make init' procmail gave me warning, that `/opt/local/bin/zsh is broken'.
I checked initmake script and here is relevant part:
case "$SHELL" in
...
*zsh*) $RM src/_autotst
$SHELL <<HERE
O="echo test >src/_autotst"
exec 2>$DEVNULL
\$O
HERE
if test ! -f src/_autotst
then
echo "Warning: your $SHELL is broken, avoiding it"; SHELL=""
fi ;;
The test seems to imply, that in
% foo="echo test > test"
% $foo
the line is to be rescanned for I/O redirections *after* foo is expanded.
I am not aware of any shell to behave this way.
Do I miss something? What is the sense of this test? And why it is done
only for zsh ;)?
thanks in advance
greetings
