that is very weird....

the first time I execute the script:

# ./test.bash 
PATH: /home/root
CMD : cd /mnt/backup/test2
EXIT: 0
----------------
PATH: /mnt/backup/test2
CMD : touch A
EXIT: 0
----------------
PATH: /mnt/backup/test2
CMD : ls -l a
-rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 0 Mar 20  2007 a
EXIT: 0
----------------
PATH: /mnt/backup/test2
CMD : rm a
EXIT: 0
----------------
PATH: /mnt/backup/test2
CMD : ls -l A
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Mar 20 16:48 A
EXIT: 0



the second time I execute the script:

# ./test.bash 
PATH: /home/root
CMD : cd /mnt/backup/test2
EXIT: 0
----------------
PATH: /mnt/backup/test2
CMD : touch A
EXIT: 0
----------------
PATH: /mnt/backup/test2
CMD : ls -l a
ls: cannot access a: No such file or directory
EXIT: 2
----------------
PATH: /mnt/backup/test2
CMD : rm a
rm: cannot remove `a': No such file or directory
EXIT: 1
----------------
PATH: /mnt/backup/test2
CMD : ls -l A
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Mar 20 16:49 A
EXIT: 0


then I delete /mnt/backup/test2/A and execute it a third time:

# rm /mnt/backup/test2/A
# ls -l /mnt/backup/test2/A
ls: cannot access /mnt/backup/test2/A: No such file or directory
# ./test.bash 
PATH: /home/root
CMD : cd /mnt/backup/test2
EXIT: 0
----------------
PATH: /mnt/backup/test2
CMD : touch A
EXIT: 0
----------------
PATH: /mnt/backup/test2
CMD : ls -l a
ls: cannot access a: No such file or directory
EXIT: 2
----------------
PATH: /mnt/backup/test2
CMD : rm a
rm: cannot remove `a': No such file or directory
EXIT: 1
----------------
PATH: /mnt/backup/test2
CMD : ls -l A
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Mar 20 16:50 A
EXIT: 0



so... what does that mean? :)
