i am embarrassed to ask this, but i can't figure out what is going on. the problem is i am using bash as my login shell (of course, this is my problem, pure and simple, but i am trying to be modern and submit my fate to the feckless taste of GNU software) and i am afflicted with a weird double echo of input. my TERM=dumb. here is some sample input/output:
> zeno-23_andrew=; date > date > Wed May 1 19:06:48 EDT 2013 but when i run script, there is no double echo: > zeno-23_andrew=; script poot > script poot > Script started, file is poot > zeno-23_andrew=; date > Wed May 1 19:06:59 EDT 2013 > zeno-23_andrew=; exit > Script done, file is poot sweet! and poot has the expected contents: > Script started on Wed May 1 19:06:55 2013 > zeno-23_andrew=; date > Wed May 1 19:06:59 EDT 2013 > zeno-23_andrew=; exit > > Script done on Wed May 1 19:07:02 2013 of course straight after the script command, the double echo resumes: > zeno-23_andrew=; exit > Script done, file is poot > zeno-23_andrew=; date > date > Wed May 1 19:07:05 EDT 2013 > zeno-23_andrew=; does anyone know what the frick is going on? it seems unaffected by set +o vi or set +o emacs. i normally use ksh, which although it has its own voibles, at least affords me the opportunity to harrangue korn if it misbehaves and whack him if its his fault. but i digress. hopefully, someone has seen this before and knows how to fix this. (and yes, i've read the wretched turgid bloated man page to no avail.) ----------------------- Andrew Hume 623-551-2845 (VO and best) 973-236-2014 (NJ) and...@research.att.com
