I have found a "difference" in the way 4.0.3 and 4.1 handle entries in the SunView root menu. If I add a line like "TEST tool" shelltool -I "cd ~user ; who" to my root menu, and select this menu entry, sunview goes into an infinite loop. trace displays the following: ... open ("/etc/passwd", 0, 0666) = 10 ioctl (10, 0x40125401, 0xf7ffd274) = -1 ENOTTY(Inappropriate ioctl for device) fstat (10, 0xf7ffd2e8) = 0 read (10, "root:F/Jil7f7mcE7vw:0:1:Operator:".., 8192) = 1075 read (10, "", 8192) = 0 close (10) = 0 ...(kill the sunview pid) Under 4.0.3, this performed as expected. Note that changing the line to: "TEST tool" shelltool -I "cd /home/user ; who" works fine. This has been demonstrated on a Sun 4/260 and 4/370 under 4.1 Am I doing something wrong ? Or is it a bug ?
