To anyone that can help,
Something has changed between RHEL 4.7 and RHEL 5.4...
RHEL 4.7:
@ D=44 ; echo $D returns 44
@ D=044 ; echo $D returns 44
@ D=08 ; echo $D returns 8
RHEL 5.4:
@ D=44 ; echo $D returns 4
@ D=044 ; echo $D returns 36 --- HUH?
@ D=08 ; echo $D returns @: Badly formed number --- HUH?
Seems to be an octal thing going on. Would anyone be able to shed some
light in this and how I might get 5.4 to act more like 4.7?
Thanks in advance,
Steve
