Subject: init.sh: accommodate shells for which 1>&$stderr_fileno_ fails
X-Git-Tag: v8.13~119
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=6fb9aeedd1b858a61d5cbf7f15782adf29ff733a;p=thirdparty%2Fcoreutils.git

init.sh: accommodate shells for which 1>&$stderr_fileno_ fails

* tests/init.sh (warn_): Use eval to work around a bug in some shells,
like those of Solaris 10 and HP-UX 11.11.
Improved by Stefano Lattarini.
