Here's something I don't understand: I used to be able (in bo) to execute the following script to update my home PC from the one in my office:
sh-2.01$ cat xxx rsync -e ssh zoppo:.profile . Simple enough. But since I upgraded both machines to hamm the following happens: sh-2.01$ sh xxx Enter passphrase for RSA key '[EMAIL PROTECTED]': ... and then the processes hang (in T state)(just after printing the prompt). ^C doesn't work, so I have to use ^Z+kill to stop it: $ ps PID TTY STAT TIME COMMAND 2383 p0 S 0:00 sh xxx 2384 p0 T 0:00 rsync -e ssh zoppo .profile . 2386 p0 T 0:00 ssh zoppo rsync --server --sender . .profile $ ps l FLAGS UID PID PPID PRI NI SIZE RSS WCHAN STA TTY TIME COMMAND 100000 1000 2383 2304 0 0 1508 772 wait4 S p0 0:00 sh xxx 100000 1000 2384 2383 0 0 804 324 do_signal T p0 0:00 rsync -e 100140 1000 2386 2385 0 0 1372 644 do_signal T p0 0:00 ssh zoppo The funny thing is, it works perfectly, if I type the command at the shell prompt, or use: sh -c "`cat xxx`" Can anyboy enlighten me what's going on here, and what the difference is between 'sh xxx' and 'sh -c "`cat xxx`"' or entering the command by hand?
