Add "source" command; prepare removal of "autoscr" command
According to the doc/feature-removal-schedule.txt, the "autoscr"
command will be replaced by the "source" command in approximately 6
months from now.
This patch prepares this change and starts a 6 month transition
period as follows:
- The new "source" command has been added, which implements exactly
the same functionlaity as the old "autoscr" command before
- The old "autoscr" command name is kept as an alias for compatibility
- Command sequences, script files atc. have been adapted to use the
new "source" command
- Related environment variables ("autoscript", "autoscript_uname")
have *not* been adapted yet; these will be renamed resp. removed in
a separate patch when the support for the "autoscr" command get's
finally dropped.

|
||||
When: August 2009

|
||||
command is deprecated and will be replaced the "source" command as
|
||||
used by other shells such as bash. Both commands will be supported
|
||||
for a transition period of 6 months after which "autoscr" will be

removed.

The "autoscr" command is deprecated and will be replaced by

|
||||
|
||||
Starting with March 2009, both commands will be supported for
|
||||
a transition period of 6 months after which "autoscr" will be
|
||||
removed. During the transition period existing scripts and

"autoscr" command get's finally dropped.
