Hi All...
While doing some testing with keychain and the snapshots while getting ready
to release a keychain service package (still working on it)...I noticed the
following
Sometimes doing a [ -f foo ]; will show a false true while the symlink is
being created. You can see this by opening two bash shells and executing
while :; do echo $$> foo.lnk; rm foo.lnk; done
in the first one and
while :; do if [ -f foo ]; then echo here; else echo " there"; fi;
done
in the second one.
Thanks,
...Karl
