Is this possible without explicitly checking the result of each command? e.g. dosomething1 if [[ $? -ne 0 ]]; then exit 1 fi dosomething...
POSIX.1e was going to define ACL (Access Control List) mechanisms for POSIX (amongst other security-related issues), but the proposals were never converted to a formal standard.

Where does glibc get its database of unicode attributes, for such functions as eg, wcwidth()? I'm interested in correcting a few errant entries, but I can't seem to find where this information is in its source distribution.

I am planning to use SCTP for a embedded Linux project. Anybody has some comments on SCTP usage, mostly in one-to-many mode? Did it beat using a home-made UDP-based equivalent solution? I control the network environement and all devices involved, so compatibility is not an issue. ...
I'm developing an applications which I've got running on a server on my linux desktop.
