I upgraded several production machines to 4.7 yesterday. After reading
the release notes I was affraid that the userland change to /bin/sh
might give me some trouble.
$ echo bla & && echo again
Syntax error "&&" unexpected
The relnotes tell me this is now the new behaviour for sh, but
unfortunately it breaks a lot of rc.d startscripts that all have this
construction in place.
MySQL and Freevrrpd are 2 examples that use this. What is the easiest
way to get around this ? I assume I'm not the first to report this, so a
link to another resource wil lbe just fine.
With regards,
Stephan
