Bash-ism. To be portable, you'd have to use something like:
if test `echo "$SOCKPATH" | wc -c` -lt 108; then
Huh, I stand (partially) corrected. POSIX requires support for ${#foo}. If we were to use gnulib's init.sh, we would then have the guarantee that we have enough of a POSIX environment to rely on that particular construct. But right now, test-lib.sh doesn't quite guarantee everything provided in gnulib.
Jim, is it time to modify test-lib.sh to borrow more ideas from gnulib's init.sh?
Sure. init.sh seems to have stabilized, and should be an improvement over test-lib.sh.
