On the topic of POSIX: % touch asdasd; chmod 755 asdasd % ./asdasd ; echo $? zsh: exec format error: ./asdasd 1 # <-- POSIX says 126 % ./foobar zsh: no such file or directory: ./foobar 1 # <-- POSIX says 127 :I don't know, but while we're on the subject, can anyone :confirm or deny that bash's implementation of the 'command' :builtin (command [-pVv] ...) is POSIX? POSIX with (User Portability Utilities Option) says ``command [-pvV] ...'' Paraphrasing: -p: Use a default PATH that is guaranteed to find all standard utilities. -v: Write string to stdout of pathname or command that will be used by the shell, in the current shell execution environment.... -V: Write string to stdout that indicates how the name given in the command_name operand will be interpreted by the shell, in the current shell execution environment.... When the -v option is specified, standard output shall be formatted as: "%s\n", When the -V option is specified, standard output shall be formatted as: "%s\n", Regards' -- Geoff Wing : Work URL: http://www.primenet.com.au/ Rxvt Stuff : Ego URL : http://pobox.com/~gcw/ Zsh Stuff : Phone : (Australia) 0413 431 874
