Problems with Solaris 10 - Solaris 9

[Dabush]

Hi Guys,

I have some problems with solaris 10 (bash).
I used solaris 9 (tcsh) till now and the following has changed:

solaris 10:

# exit 1 | tee
# echo $?
0

solaris 9:

# exit 1 | tee
# echo $?
1

I realy need to use the tee function because i wrote a lot of code depending on it.

Does anyone have a solution?
What is going on?

Thanks!

Duh, this isn't a Solaris forum... There are subtle variances between bash implementations on Solaris and Linux systems. On my CentOS/RHEL 5 systems, bash behaves as does your Solaris 10 example. You should read the Solaris 9 bash documentation to see if its behavior is as designed, or is a bug. As for a solution, I think you are going to have to resolve this yourself. FWIW, echo $? will output the exit code of the last command, which in this case is tee. So, I think that if you are depending upon the behavior as found in Solaris 9, you are depending upon a faulty implementation.
