-stable as of Wed Dec 22 01:48:17 EST 1999 dosen't seem to have this problem. % /bin/test 1 -ne 0 ] test: ]: unexpected operator -- Eric Futch New York Connect.Net, Ltd. efutch@nyct.net Technical Support Staff http://www.nyct.net (212) 293-2620 "Bringing New York The Internet Access It Deserves" On Thu, 23 Dec 1999, Peter Jeremy wrote: On 1999-Dec-23 12:09:49 +1100, Vlad Skvortsov <vlad@high.net.ru> wrote: > Seems like /bin/test is broken after cvsup on Dec 16: > > $ /bin/test 1 -ne 0 ] > [: ]: unexpected operator What behaviour were you expecting? That command should have been expressed as either: $ /bin/test 1 -ne 0 or $ [ 1 -ne 0 ] Mixing `test' and `]' is not allowed, so producing an error message is the correct response. That said, the error message should have been: test: ]: unexpected operator and it is not clear why you are getting `[' reported as the program name. As far as I can tell, nothing related to test or errx(3) has been updated recently. (I'm not actually running -stable, so I can't confirm the behaviour).
