Better? :-) Also, '-p' (privileged mode, i.e. ignore functions in the environment, as well as a bunch of special envvars which change bash's behavior in interesting ways) should really be the default for scripts; I suspect that nothing whatsoever would break if non-interactive shells had that flag set forcibly. In any case, adding "-p" to any #!/bin/bash shebang line looks like a very good idea. Shall we add a Lintian check for this? -- -- Matthias Urlichs
