[22:09] <balloons> veebers, are you good at bash?
[22:10] <veebers> balloons: I quite often have to re-look things up when I do bash stuff as I don't do it every day :-P How come
[22:12] <balloons> veebers, bah, I figured as much. I have this mp for the sandbox changes I wanted: https://code.launchpad.net/~nskaggs/autopilot/add-wm-sandbox-run/+merge/242274. The argument handling is not the best, and doesn't work atm
[22:13]  * veebers looks
[22:13] <balloons> I decided it might be better to ask someone else to look than dig in again myself if they were a bash connoisseur
[22:14] <veebers> balloons: aye sorry nothing immediately obvious. I do know that the trailing ':' means something but I would have to look it up. Perhaps try jibel?
[22:15] <balloons> yes, I added him as the reviewer hoping he would fix it, since it would probably take him but a minute
[22:15] <balloons> kk, I'll ping him
[22:15] <balloons> or spend the time . . .
[22:22] <robotfuel> veebers: balloons : is a null in bash
[22:31] <veebers> robotfuel: hmm, what does that mean in the context of getopt args?
[22:37] <robotfuel> veebers: good question :P
[22:38] <balloons> :-)
[22:39] <robotfuel> if the option is followed by a :, then that option has a required parameter - not specifying it will cause the function to fail,
[22:39] <robotfuel> balloons: veebers ^
[22:39] <veebers> robotfuel: ah right, thanks. I new it did _something_ ^_^
