Subject: tests: avoid portability problem with dash vs. symlinked ttys
X-Git-Tag: v8.7~9
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=425503c8073a17df5ace9bb9330ce283804b07e1;p=thirdparty%2Fcoreutils.git

tests: avoid portability problem with dash vs. symlinked ttys

* tests/mv/i-3: Adjust so that the symlink is resolved
before redirecting to the background command, as otherwise
the stdin descriptor passed to the command will fail the
isatty() or ttyname() test.
