    Hello aix-lers,

    I have problems with the read-command on 5.2ml03, cant reproduce this on
    5.2ml02 or any 5.1 or 4.3.3 version:

    (0)root@sbe16732 231# echo "219952 119404 140324 0"|read a b c

    This works fine so far. Then I do the same command again:

    (0)root@sbe16732 232# echo "219952 119404 140324 0"|read a b c
    [1] + Done echo "219952 119404 140324 0"|read a b c

    And everytime I redo it I get this strange "+ Done" again...

    (0)root@sbe16732 233# echo "219952 119404 140324 0"|read a b c
    [1] + Done echo "219952 119404 140324 0"|read a b c
    (0)root@sbe16732 234# echo "219952 119404 140324 0"|read a b c
    [1] + Done echo "219952 119404 140324 0"|read a b c

    until I unset the variables:

    (0)root@sbe16732 235# unset a b c

    Then it works again for one time:

    (0)root@sbe16732 236# echo "219952 119404 140324 0"|read a b c
    (0)root@sbe16732 237# echo "219952 119404 140324 0"|read a b c
    [1] + Done echo "219952 119404 140324 0"|read a b c

    And so on.

    I only have 1 system @5.3-ml03, can you reproduce this on your 5.3-ml03
    system?

    Does anybody have an idea what is going on here?

    Regards,

    Holger

    (btw. I know that the command echoes 4 values but only reads 3)
