>Description:
fortune(6) displays fortunes from the "fortunes" and "fortunes2"
files by default. This can be verified with "fortune -f".
However, searching for a pattern with -m applies to "fortunes" only.
>How-To-Repeat:
$ /usr/games/fortune -m LESSER-KNOWN -f
___% /usr/share/games/fortune
___% fortunes
___% fortunes2
That is fortune(6) promises to look into the two files.
Now let's actually search for the phrase.
$ /usr/games/fortune -m LESSER-KNOWN | fgrep "%% ("
%% (fortunes)
The phrase is found in "fortunes" only. Now let's add
the "all" argument to fortune(6).
$ /usr/games/fortune -m LESSER-KNOWN all | fgrep "%% ("
%% (fortunes)
%% (fortunes2)
I.e., the phrase is present "fortunes2", too, but fortune(6)
won't find it there by default.
Conclusion: "fortune -m" won't look into "fortunes2", although
it promises to.
