Another bug I noticed with dash-0.5.6-2.fc11.i586 is that it doesn't redirect from symlinks correctly for background processes.
$ dash -c "tty < /dev/stdin&" $ dash -c "tty < /dev/stdin" /dev/pts/3 $ bash -c "tty < /dev/stdin&" /dev/pts/3 $ dash -c "tty < $(readlink -f /dev/stdin)&" /dev/pts/3 OK to apply the following? Note redirecting from /dev/tty works also, but I don't know if that's better or worse. --- a/tests/mv/i-3 +++ b/tests/mv/i-3 @@ -34,10 +34,13 @@ chmod 0 g i || framework_failure ls /dev/stdin >/dev/null 2>&1 \ || skip_test_ 'there is no /dev/stdin file' -test -r /dev/stdin 2>&1 \ +# work around a dash bug redirecting from symlinks +tty=$(readlink -f /dev/stdin) + +test -r "$tty" 2>&1 \ || skip_test_ '/dev/stdin is not readable' -mv f g < /dev/stdin > out 2>&1 & pid=$! +mv f g < $tty > out 2>&1 & pid=$! # Wait up to 3.1s for the expected prompt check_overwrite_prompt()
