Hello. Imagine this file:
#!/sbin/busybox.static ash #set -m ( echo >&2 "inner shell has: $(ps -o pid,pgid $$ | tail -n1)" ) & echo >&2 "outer shell has: $(ps -o pid,pgid $$ | tail -n1)" echo >&2 "x is $$, job is $!: $(ps -o pid,pgid $! | tail -n1)" If in a t2.sh and run it generates this output: #?0|kent:tmp$ ./t2.sh outer shell has: 18192 18192 inner shell has: 18192 18192 x is 18192, job is 18193: 18193 18192 #?0|kent:tmp$ ./t2.sh inner shell has: 18563 18563 outer shell has: 18563 18563 x is 18563, job is 18564: PID PGID #?0|kent:tmp$ ./t2.sh inner shell has: 18575 18575 outer shell has: 18575 18575 x is 18575, job is 18576: 18576 18575 #?0|kent:tmp$ ./t2.sh inner shell has: 18587 18587 outer shell has: 18587 18587 x is 18587, job is 18588: 18588 18587 #?0|kent:tmp$ ./t2.sh inner shell has: 18621 18621 outer shell has: 18621 18621 x is 18621, job is 18622: PID PGID #?0|kent:tmp$ ./t2.sh inner shell has: 18633 18633 outer shell has: 18633 18633 x is 18633, job is 18634: PID PGID This with and without my $(()) stack B-(. (On the other hand it must be said that i first thought this, because my last busybox, from November 8th, generates output like ?0|kent:tmp$ ./t2.sh inner shell has: PID PGID outer shell has: PID PGID x is 6640, job is 6641: PID PGID #?0|kent:tmp$ ./t2.sh inner shell has: PID PGID outer shell has: PID PGID x is , job is 6792: 6792 6791 ie, it is totally borked. Maybe the miscompilation commit hmm.) Enabling -m'onitor mode makes it less weird. But this is a different story and shall be narrated another time.
