I'm running into a very weird situation. Let's forget about the purpose of my initial script please. I noticed the bug whatever I'm trying to do.
I'm on an old server running bash 3.1.17.
Say we have the following script :
When I execute it, I get the following result:
Meaning that the command "local" makes the variable be set even if no value was given to it. This is not the behavior I've seen on any other server.
Can anyone explain what's going on?
Thanks

Thanks for your help

fi
And I execute it like this:

I've posted about this before, but only recently narrowed the problem down to a specific cause.
Ok, first of all, the behavior:

snnewgroup.v0.3.8(8) System Manager's Manual snnewgroup.v0.3.8(8)NAME
snnewgroup - create a new sn newsgroup
SYNOPSIS
snnewgroup newsgroup [server] [port]
DESCRIPTION
snnewgroup creates newsgroup assigning it an upstream NNTP server of server:port. If port is not specified, defaults to 119. If server is
also not specified, newsgroup is created as a local group which is fed only by articles POSTed to it.
You will need to be root or own /var/spool/sn in order to add new groups.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
SNROOT If this is set and is not empty, the value is used in place of /var/spool/sn, the default news spool directory.
FILES CREATED
/var/spool/sn/newsgroup
Directory where articles will be stored.
/var/spool/sn/newsgroup/.created
Empty file for the newsgroup creation time.
/var/spool/sn/newsgroup/.serial
Where snget gets its idea of the new starting serial number for newsgroup on server server:port. The value is initialized to 0.
/var/spool/sn/newsgroup/.outgoing
If server is specified, is a symlink to /var/spool/sn/.outgoing/server:port, which is a directory, created if it does not already
exist. If server is not specified, no file /var/spool/sn/newsgroup/.outgoing will be created. See also snsend.
