Re: [GTALUG] Man deletes his entire company

| From: Scott Allen <mlxxxp@gmail.com> | The script actually contained | rm -rf {foo}/{bar} | | The error caused foo and bar to be null so the result was | rm -rf / I don't know what was processing the commands. If it was a normal shell, it ought to have been rm -rf ${foo}/${bar} This is EXACTLY why I start all my shell scripts with set -eu The e means stop on an unexpected non-zero return code. The u means that referenceing an unset variable is an error.
