This message is coming from my 32-bit "hot backup" gentoo machine. |
| 2 |
For some reason, any script that I call on my 64-bit machine immediately |
| 3 |
returns to the command prompt. No warnings or error messages or |
| 4 |
diagnostics. Builtins and compiled executables work OK. For instance, |
| 5 |
if I have a script named "xyz" that goes like so... |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
#!/bin/bash |
| 8 |
man bash |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
..., executing "xyz" or "~/bin/xyz" results in bash immediately |
| 11 |
returning to to the command prompt. If I type "man bash", it works OK. |
| 12 |
On top of everything else, getmail seems to go into "forkbomb mode", |
| 13 |
generating a gazillion processes, and eventually locking up the machine, |
| 14 |
if I type in... |
| 15 |
/usr/bin/getmail -v -v -v --rcfile rc_cotse |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
It looks like the script is being totally ignored, e.g... |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
waltdnes@i3 ~ $ emerge anyone home? |
| 20 |
waltdnes@i3 ~ $ |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Any ideas what gives? |
