I'm using the following construction in a pkg-deinstall script for a port I
maintain:
if ( ${BATCH} ); then
The idea is, if you type make BATCH=1 deinstall, the port will deinstall
without running an interactive portion of the pkg-deinstall script. If you
type make deinstall, the pkg-deinstall script runs.
The script works, but, when you use BATCH=1, it generates an error message:
# make BATCH=1 deinstall clean
===> Deinstalling for security/sguil-server
===> Deinstalling sguil-server-0.7.0_1
Stopping sguild......
sguild not running?
1: not found
Why is this error printing to stdout and how can I suppress it? Or is there a
flaw in the logic that, if fixed, would resolve this problem?
