Re: Bash function from psql (v14)

What problem are you trying to solve? If you tell us that, we can guide you
to some better solutions.

There are numerous issues here, but the most important are:

1) Calling a shell via \! invokes an entirely new process: there is no link
to the parent or grandparent process

2) The run-bash-function must be declared before being called, so that bash
code was never going to work anyway. In other words, this is valid:

run-bash-function() { echo "Here we are"; }

run-bash-function

This version is not:

run-bash-function

run-bash-function() { echo "Here we are"; }

Cheers,
Greg
