If Mac OS X is UNIX, why is it that it is not open sourced and the license is proprietary? "BSD code can absolutely be closed" could be misunderstood as "BSD-licensed code can be at the same time closed-source". This is clearer. |

If Mac OS X is UNIX, why is it that it is not open sourced and the license is proprietary? If you modify BSD-licensed code and distribute it without the source code, that's legal, but the resulting code can no longer be called BSD-licensed. |

Accidently created a file called -X, how can I delete it? To reiterate what Zan said, -- is not a shell feature, it's a feature of rm and many other GNU tools. Not all tools support it, so Tim's answer is more portable, across Unix systems and across utilities. |

How do I exit a script in a conditional statement? While everything you said is correct, this is a bad pattern to learn, because you're relying on the return value of expr2. Are you certain that echo will always return a 0 exit status? It's much better idea to group the statements with curly braces and semi-colons. This is such a common pitfall that it has its own entry in BashPitfalls: mywiki.wooledge.org/BashPitfalls#cmd1_.26.26_cmd2_.7C.7C_cmd3 |
