What were you trying to do?
use lynx from infoagents
What's wrong:
the script has the line:
exec ${0}.real "$@"
in the case that there are no args, this is
equivalent to starting lynx as:
/mit/infoagents/bin/lynx.real ""
which cause it to just list the dir instead of going to
the default home page.
I think this is only a problem on decstations since
the other platforms don't seen to have a shell script wrapper.
What should have happened:
the default home page should have come up.
maybe a construct such as:
exec ${0}.real ${1+"$@"}
should be used
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
sh manpage
