if [ -n "$PMLINK" -a -x $PMDIR/plugin-container_exec ];then

I don't understand what the following test condtion does

Code: Select all

if [ -n "$PMLINK" -a -x $PMDIR/plugin-container_exec ];then

in the palemoon script:
/usr/local/bin/palemoon-plugin-container.sh

Here is the full code:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh

PMDIR=''
if grep -q ' sse2 ' /proc/cpuinfo; then
	[ -x /opt/palemoon/palemoon ] && PMDIR=/opt/palemoon
else
	[ -x /usr/local/palemoon/palemoon ] && PMDIR=/usr/local/palemoon
fi

if [ -n "$PMDIR" ];then
	PMLINK="$(which palemoon 2>/dev/null)"
	if [ -n "$PMLINK" -a -x $PMDIR/plugin-container_exec ];then
		if [ -h $PMLINK ] \
		  && [ "$(basename $(readlink $PMLINK))" = 'palemoon.sh' ];then
			export LC_ALL=C
			exec /usr/lib/glibc219/lib/ld-linux.so.2 --library-path /usr/lib/glibc219/lib:/usr/lib/glibc219/usr/lib:/usr/lib/glibc219/libstdc++:/usr/X11R7/lib:$PMDIR $PMDIR/plugin-container_exec "$@" #exec avoids segfault after flashplayer
		fi
	fi
fi

and this comes with the version of palemoon found in the installer pet for superlupu4.

What I want to know is when will the following line of code be executed

Code: Select all

exec /usr/lib/glibc219/lib/ld-linux.so.2 --library-path /usr/lib/glibc219/lib:/usr/lib/glibc219/usr/lib:/usr/lib/glibc219/libstdc++:/usr/X11R7/lib:$PMDIR $PMDIR/plugin-container_exec "$@" #exec avoids segfault after flashplayer

because if this code never gets executed then I can see why youtube is crashing with a no child process error.

If variable "$PMLINK" is not empty and file /opt/palemoon/plugin-container_exec exists and is executable; then...

The earlier line PMDIR=/opt/palemoon makes no sense to me. Why did the script check for the installation directory and then ignores whatever the result and hardcodes the directory?

Executed
if a symlink named palemoon exists in the $PATH and this symlink points to an executable file palemoon.sh
and
if executable file /opt/palemoon/plugin-container_exec exists
and of course
if the long exec line is valid code

Thankyou

That might have been me that put that there. I didn't think the test for the installation directory was working. I deleted it in the above post to avoid confusion.
