shell script gotcha in boot

[pooryorick]

I use a build process which is sensitive to the exit code of "boot", assuming that everything went OK only if it returns 0. Because the last line of the script uses the && operator, the entire script can exit with a code other than zero if the last file checked does not exist. In my case, "validate" indeed did not exist, and the script failed.

Solution: Replace the && with an if statement:

if test -f $f; then
    chmod +x $f
fi

Thanks for the report; now done.
