Hi,
I've got bach-1.04 here on a machine which is a HP 835 running HP-UX 7.0.
After a bit of hacking in the code I managed to get it working. However,
in jobs.c you say:
/* You must give the tty away before you set the process group,
and you must do these things only in the child. Otherwise,
race conditions can occur. */
The thing is that no matter how I set process group, I MUST give away
the terminal AFTER setting the process group, quite the opposite to
the above statement. If I do as you say, I always get
Stopped (terminal output)
on commands I try to execute.
I know wonder if I'm in for big trouble or if perhaps there is a
difference in semantics for this between BSD and SYSV-based systems?
One other thing is that when I used bison to compile parse.y I got
a nasty bug. When I did something like
[ -n "$BASH" ] || echo "Hello"
the shell died (bad connector) and mailed you a bug report.
Using yacc made the bug go away. I don't know the version of bison but
the guy who installed it assures me that it's the latest.
I also added that /bin/login be executed without forking (as in ksh),
the ksh cd - , to take you back to $OLDPWD. I also changed in vi-mode
so that cc and dd works, and changed the keybindings so they more
resemble ksh.
I will mail you the patches for this if you are interested.
Jan D.
