I wrote a small bash script randomjoke that downloads a random joke from bash.org:
Code:
[root@calcium ~]# cat /bin/randomjoke
#! /bin/bash
cat ~/.randomjoke
(lynx --dump bash.org/?random | sed -n -e '/\[12\]/,/\[16\]/p' | grep -v '\[1[26]\]' > ~/.randomjoke &) >& /dev/null
This all works fine when using it from the prompt.
Code:
[root@calcium ~]# cat ~/.randomjoke
<linux> "So... my girlfriend told me she thought i was a pedophile the
other day."
<linux> "so i says to her, that's an awfully big word coming from a 12
year old."
<DGF> LOL
[root@calcium ~]#
[root@calcium ~]# (lynx --dump bash.org/?random | sed -n -e '/\[12\]/,/\[16\]/p' | grep -v '\[1[26]\]' > ~/.randomjoke &) >& /dev/null
But when I try /bin/randomjoke it hangs for a long while, then gives me a whole lot of error messages:
Code:
[root@calcium ~]# /bin/randomjoke

What could be the cause of such a thing?
