My original bug report was in error. Here's the line that was giving
me trouble:
if [ `hesinfo turnin sloc | grep -c -i $host` -eq 1 ]; then
My problem was that I hadn't defined $host. So the backquoted command
became
hesinfo turnin sloc | grep -c -i
Which doesn't make sense. Grep exits with status 2, just as the man
page says. If there's a bug here, it's that no error message is
printed.
