Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Previously, ksh did not restore file handles after executing a sourced script. If an output stream or an error stream was redirected in the sourced script, the respective stream remained redirected in the parent script as well. With this update, file handles are restored after execution of sourced scripts so a parent script is not affected by sourced script redirections.

Description Tomas Smetana 2010-11-08 10:57:12 EST

$ cat > 1.ksh
. ./2.ksh
echo "STDOUT"

$ cat > 2.ksh
echo "STDERR" >&2

cat > run.ksh
. ./1.ksh

2.  And then execute run.ksh with standard output redirected to /dev/null:
