Not really a bug, but this seems to be the only bash list gname knows
about, so...
I am trying to figure out how to run a command and pipe the output
through tee, and then check the status of the original command. Normally
I am a very competent shell programmer, but this one has me stumped!
I have tried all of the following with no success (except of course the
last one):
my_false() { false || ret=3; }
ret=0
{ false || exit 1; } | tee none
{ false || ret=2; } | tee none ; [ $ret -eq 0 ] || exit $ret
my_false | tee none ; [ $ret -eq 0 ] || exit $ret
false | tee none || exit 4
false || exit 5
Please, someone tell me I'm just doing it wrong, and this is not a
limititation in bash!
