Probably should use $PID_T_MAX You could speed up the test with -s.1 also (after separate fix I'm sending applied). Also could protect with timeout incase $PID_T_MAX does exist. So something like: getlimits_ timeout 1 tail -s.1 --pid=$PID_T_MAX -f /dev/null ret=$? test $ret = 124 && skip_test_ "pid $PID_T_MAX present" ! test $ret = 0 && fail=1 cheers, Pádraig. p.s. A lot of these tests could be changed to using timeout I think. I'll have a look at that at some stage. _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list Bug-coreutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
