Subject: Re: Fetchmail's fetchmail conf does not work on Gentoo
Date: Fri, 20 Sep 2024 09:44:37 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <3CCA07FF-6AA7-4D12-A72E-7F5FB8FAF129@tobias.gr> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <6070efd9-c41b-4d8c-93c9-84dae99a1af2@yahoo.com>

Do you know where that leading ':' is coming from?

It's sometimes used as shorthand for 'true' in shell scripts, and 'true' is sometimes used as a low-effort 'no-op', but the 'exec' builtin (rightfully) doesn't care about any of that:

  moloch:~λ exec :
  -bash: exec: :: not found

Kind regards,

T G-R

Sent on the go.  Excuse or enjoy my brevity.
