Hi (again :-) ),

Hush does complain about a syntax error in the following script:

echo a | ( if true; then echo $(echo a); fi )

hush: syntax error: unterminated )

and both dash and bash do not complain about it.

if this script is written in the following way it does not complain:

echo a | ( if true; then echo `echo a`; fi )

thanks,

Mikel Garai
