Hi Gabriele, Yes, your observation is correct: The resource scripts are not fully POSIX compatible in this respect. We have been fixing these issues as they come up, but since we all use bash-like shells it has never become a pressing issue (IIRC Debian did have some of the same issues since /bin/sh there is dash, which is also not fully bash-compatible). It would be fantastic if you could file issues or submit patches at https://github.com/ClusterLabs/resource-agents for the resource agents where you still find these problems.
