Note to our international readers: The quoted sentence uses ISO8859-1
and if I haven't screwed up, the mail header should declare this. If the
last character before the period looks like a greek beta, then you have
a correct rendering of the szlig glyph.

# Not bad, but insufficient.
# I have to deal with complicated package that contains a zillion of files
# and hundreds of nested makefiles. I used mkdir but I can also be
# my-$(var1)-$(var2). If it is my-huge-cmd I'd like to stop. If it is

# Anyway, with MKDIR it is a good start.
Then I suggest you go the "overload my-huge-cmd in PATH" way. This
allows control over what commands do stop and involves no Makefile
changes.
# By the way how to stop determine that any shell command was invoked?
I'm afraid I don't understand the question. Could you please rephrase
or give an example what you mean?
Regards,
Jens
