I just noticed that for some reason I did not receive your message [1] regarding the read-only variables issue [0]. It turns out that your patch is fine with Bash because Bash simply prints an error message and then goes on executing the script. However, Tru64's, IRIX' and HPUX' /bin/sh really _stop_ the script. In other words, the following script prints "hello" when /bin/sh is Bash, and doesn't otherwise: #!/bin/sh ENV=sdf readonly ENV unset ENV echo "hello" Thanks, Ludovic.
