Specification Linux Standard Base Specification 1.2
Problem Summary LSB.fhs/root/bin/bin-tc 37 checks for stdout output incorrectly
Problem Text The csh test checks for stdout output. In some cases stdout
output from csh startup is normal. This includes emitting
an escape sequence to ensure that the terminal is in Unicode
mode. This escape sequence is not emitted if stdout is not
a tty, so one could simply change the line:

lsb_test_exec /bin/csh tfile >out.stdout 2>out.stderr

to:
lsb_test_exec /bin/csh tfile >out.stdout 2>out.stderr <
/dev/null
Test Output 400|444 37 1 17:29:53|IC Start
200|444 37 17:29:53|TP Start

Shell or equivalent (tcsh):

be /bin/csh.

Review Recommendation Test Suite Deficiency (TSD)
Review Response It is agreed that this test for FHS compliance, goes beyond
what is required, that is it should only be testing for
whether the csh is executable and not look at the standard
output. It appears to be beyond the scope of the
specification for us to consider whether the implementation
behavior is correct or otherwise, so we recommend a TSD
based on the fact that the test exceeds the FHS
requirements.
