Hi,
Also, if the script is being invoked from inside a login shell, then there
is a bright chance the 'ls' will be aliased (I usually alias my ls to show
file size) and this will fail in weird ways.
Good point. BTW, the original code snippet posted by OP will not work
as `ls /etc` will only return list of file names and not expand to their full
path.
The most common mistakes by amateur shell script programmers are
unnecessary usage of 'ls' and 'cat' commands in their scripts.
