I cannot confirm a problem with the "run' command; tested with v2012.04 in "sandbox" : ------------------------------------ $ echo 'setenv fail printenv foo;setenv bug echo === BUG ===;run fail bug; reset' | ./u-boot U-Boot 2012.04 (Apr 23 2012 - 10:07:18) DRAM: 128 MiB Using default environment In: serial Out: serial Err: serial =>setenv fail printenv foo;setenv bug echo === BUG ===;run fail bug; reset ## Error: "foo" not defined $ ------------------------------------ i. e. the second command ("echo === BUG ===") does not get run. Ditto on real hardware (here a MPC5200 based board): ------------------------------------ U-Boot 2012.04 (Apr 23 2012 - 10:16:22) CPU: MPC5200B v2.2, Core v1.4 at 396 MHz Bus 132 MHz, IPB 132 MHz, PCI 66 MHz ... => setenv ifhostisup 'ping 192.168.99.99' => setenv saywearehappy 'echo "We are happy!"' => run ifhostisup saywearehappy Using FEC device ping failed; host 192.168.99.99 is not alive => ------------------------------------ Which exact version of U-Boot and which board configuration are you testing? Are you using hush shell, or plain old command interpreter? [In both my tests the hush shell was used.] Best regards, Wolfgang Denk -- DENX Software Engineering GmbH, MD: Wolfgang Denk & Detlev Zundel HRB 165235 Munich, Office: Kirchenstr.5, D-82194 Groebenzell, Germany Phone: (+49)-8142-66989-10 Fax: (+49)-8142-66989-80 Email: w...@denx.de A conservative is a man with two perfectly good legs who has never learned to walk. - Franklin D.
