Yes. {foo,bar} is a bashism. Do not expect any shell except bash to
expand it.
But how can you explain
--
#! /bin/ash
mkdir -p test/{foo,bar}

does expand the {foo,bar}, while
--
#!/bin/ash
mkdir -p test/{foo,bar}

does not. Note that there is a space between #! and /bin/ash in the
first case.

Weird ash/sash behavior
I've been experimenting using /bin/ash as /bin/sh recently. No big
problem so far. However, a couple of debian/rules failed to
build. Further examination shows that:
#!/bin/ash (1)
and
#! /bin/ash (2)
behave differently. Note that there is space between #! and /bin/ash
in (2).
Example:
-
#!/bin/ash
mkdir -p test/{usr,lib}
-
produces one directory under test: test/{usr,bin}
while
-
#! /bin/ash
mkdir -p test/{usr,lib}
-
produces two: test/usr and test/bin, which is probably what we want.
Note that /bin/sash also has the same problem, while /bin/bash,
/bin/tcsh, and /usr/bin/ksh do not.
Any comment?

Recently, the company I work for bought another company in California (I'm in Texas). I now spend about 75% of my time traveling and it is simply impossible for me to keep the site updated with the rapid changes that take place with Linux development. I tried for a few weeks to pull it off, but between long distance phone calls into my system and not having any access, it simply didn't work. I've received several emails (hundreds) asking why the site was so out of date, many were asking politely but most were more angry that I hadn't kept up the system. I've tried many times to recruit some help, but it has never panned out. So, In light of the fact that I am no longer in a position to maintain the site and it was also costing me a little over $350 per month to maintain the connection and ISDN line, I decided it was time to shut it down. If I couldn't do it right, I didn't see any reason in doing it at all. I'm leaving again for two more weeks later today and won't have access to email for that time. I hope that folks will understand why it had to come to an end and hopefully someday I'll be able to provide a little bit back to the Linux community again. BTW, the domain linuxhq.com will be removed as well, if someone else wants to try and pickup where I left off, the domain should be available in a few days thru internic. Thank you for your query, I hope I've answered your questions to your satisfaction.

Weird PPP problem
I've been able to established ppp connection using the following two methods: (1) pppd connect chat -v blah blah blah blah (2) pppd connect chat -v -f my_chat_script_file (All the ppp options are specified in ~/.ppprc) However I was unable to set up the connection using: (3) pppd connect chat.sh where chat.sh is a shell script that runs chat to make connection: #!/bin/sh # my chat.sh file /usr/sbin/chat -v blah blah blah blah The expect-send pairs in this file are exactly like those in the chat scripts in (1) and (2). I wanted to use this method because there are a dozen phone numbers I can dial into my ISP, and I want to pass these phone numbers as argument to chat.sh, so that I don't have to create multiple chat scripts which are virtually the same except the phone number. This method is detailed in PPP-HOWTO. The ppp source package also includes ppp-on, ppp-on-dialer scripts that are based on this method. However I notice these sample scripts are not included in the debian ppp bianary package, which makes me wonder if some features have been disable in the debian distributions of ppp or bash due to some reasons (secuity?). Maybe the debian maintainers can answer this. Each time I typed: pppd connect chat.sh the process failed very quickly. The whole ppp.log is as follow: Aug 4 20:22:25 huifang pppd[1644]: pppd 2.2.0 started by hhuang, uid 1000 Aug 4 20:22:26 huifang pppd[1644]: Connect script failed Aug 4 20:22:26 huifang pppd[1644]: Exit.
