Greetings;
When I run anything that is actually a shell script starting with
#!/bin/sh and maybe any thing that uses a shell function I get five or
six screens full of messages that look like the following and all start
with /bin/sh
/bin/sh: _openssl: line 25: syntax error near
`unexpected token `('
/bin/sh: _openssl: line 25: ` -@(in|out|oid))'
/bin/sh: error importing function definition for
`_openssl'
/bin/sh: _service: line 4: syntax error in
conditional expression: unexpected token `('
/bin/sh: _service: line 4: syntax error near `@(*'
/bin/sh: _service: line 4: ` [[ ${COMP_WORDS[0]} !=
@(*init.d/!(functions|~)|service) ]] && return 0;'
One example is /usr/bin/bashbug
but all scripts that start with #!/bin/sh
seem to have the problem.
One function that has the problem is one I wrote that does an ls and
pipes it to less. As follows;
function lm ()
{
ls -laNF "$@" | $(which less)
}
Anybody have any idea about what is causing these errors
or where to look?
Maybe /bin/sh is not symlinked to /bin/bash?
