A working example in bash-3.2 :) [[ $(</proc/mounts) =~ $'\n'/dev/root\ ]] \ && echo "Yay, I matched ^/dev/root " I challenge you to get an exact match of /dev/root being on the first line using the == operator and/or quoting. Remember, /dev/root/foo and /dev/foo /dev/root must not match either. If you can you get credit in the ChangeLog :) Yes, you could also write grep -E "^/dev/root " /proc/mounts, but using bash like this is faster [1] [1] http://roy.marples.name/node/267 Thanks -- Roy Marples <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Gentoo/Linux Developer (baselayout, networking) -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
