- The command:
-
- /bin/sh ( (/bin/rmail user@node ; /bin/rm -f tmpfile) & ) < tmpfile
-
- seems to delete tmpfile before using tmpfile as input. This problem appeared
- when I was rebuilding Elm under 0.97 and it tried to deliver mail. All of the
- mail would arrive with no message and minimal headers (those built by rmail).
-
- Executing the same command (less /bin/sh) under the tcsh works as expected.
-
- Is this a bug in bash?
