Subject:   Anyone mind if I remove the following braindamage from test(1)?
Message-ID:  <13843.841630272@time.cdrom.com>

next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
root@time-> [ -d /tmp ] && echo Yup, its a directory
Yup, its a directory
root@time-> [ -d ] && echo Yup, its a directory
Yup, its a directory

Clearly, as Bruce has already noted in other email, the second form is
clearly bogus and should generate a usage message of some sort since
-d obviously takes an argument.  Is there any POSIX weirdness which
mandates that test not do proper argument checking?
