Hi.
I recently had a problem installing the latest netscape communicator
port - the session just sat there, with 'yes' chewing up processor time.
The port makefile contains this:
cd ${WRKSRC} && yes "" | \
LC_TIME=C MOZILLA_HOME="${NDIR}" ./ns-install
This sort of construct:
#!/bin/sh
yes | head -2
No longer exits when the head finishes. Anybody else seeing this sort
of thing with a current 3.0-CURRENT? If so, we might be in for a lot of
complaints when people start installing netscape.
For what it is worth, the shell you use doesn't seem to make any
diffence - I've tried sh, bash, ksh and tcsh.
