Hi list! I am puzzled about this as to why - this has kept on happening to me for many months if not year(s). It has also happened across many different scripts of mine.
So upon exit of my scripts, sometimes, and I mean sometimes like 1 out of 20 or so runs of my scripts, it happens. How I ran these scripts: I have a "ksh" line at the end of .cshrc and that basically starts my Ksh shells on every terminal window. And I ran these scripts by hand per-say, as they're located in ~/bin folder which is, of course, added to PATH via PATH=$HOME/bin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin which can be found in ~/.profile file. ALSO IT COULD BE POSSIBLE: I usually also run these scripts within tmux(1) becaues the ST doesn't have a buffer scrollback even with the scrollback applied, on OpenBSD, for some reason... it works perfectly well on FreeBSD last time I used it. I also have "#!/bin/sh" in all of my scripts. I have of course modified some things like the exported PS1 in ~/.kshrc, but other than that I don't see what can be the problem. It could be, which I doubt, the terminal problem, and the terminal used is ST from [1]. Sadly I instinctively closed my terminal window with the exact error message so I can only give you as much of it as I remember. I tried reproducing it right now but I can't, perhaps it's even rarer than 1/20 chance. Remember that this happens on the EXIT of a script which was running perfectly fine. The error message is something like this: "/home/user/bin/script: quotation mark not closed", or "/home/user/bin/script: closing quotation mark missing", and in the script that I have attached you can clearly see that all quotation marks have been closed. And no, not all scripts use find(1) or mpv(1), so I don't think they have a specific utility in common... unless maybe echo? [1] http://st.suckless.org/
