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. -- Adrian Wontroba, Stade Computers Limited. phone: (+44) 121 681 6677 Mail info@accu.org for information about the Association of C and C++ Users or see To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
