It does not fail, the problem is that some construct works only on some shells 
or systems (for example type and kill -HUP warnings).

Maybe we should add a getopt flag (-q for example) to mask that types of 
warnings, or maybe we should (for Gentoo/Alt) adapt files to be (almost) 
POSIX compliant (so command -v instead of type, kill -s HUP instead of 
kill -HUP, and go on)

Yes, as supplementary check
