[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #46754] MXE Octave - system command behaves different on error

[Rik]

Update of bug #46754 (project octave):

              Depends on:                         => bugs #44712            

    _______________________________________________________

Follow-up Comment #3:

Matlab's documentation is clear about the dos() command and how it handles
system on a Windows platform.  Does Matlab also redirect stdout and stderr to
a single stream on Unix platforms?  That would be worth testing.

Most Octave developers work on Linux and it is very unconventional to redirect
stderr to stdout without specifically being requested to do so by the
programmer.

This is a duplicate of bug #44712.  I'm going to close this report and leave
that one open.
