- Speaking of "recursive."
-
- In zsh 2.1, after defining several functions and aliases that are provided
- with the sources, I had three processes suspended and couldn't kill them.
- each time I issued a command, either,
-
- kill %1
- kill %2
- Kill -9 %1
- and so on,
-
- I got this error message:
-
- "zsh: job table full or recursion limit exceeded"
-
- The only time I'd seen that message before is when I tried to use
- a tcsh alias for safe remove in my zsh, i.e.,
-
- alias rm='rm -i'
-
- with this alias defined in zsh, you get the same error as above.
-
- Anyone know what's going on ?
- Thanks in advance,
-
