The AFS backup command (in interactive mode) responds to an EOF (control-D)
by repeating the last command. Thus
# backup -local
backup> help
Commands are:
adddump add dump schedule
...
backup> CONTROL-D
Commands are:
adddump add dump schedule
...
Or for a more robust example, try
# echo help | backup -local
Mostly this is annoying. But, in a few cases it could be dangerous.
Needless to day, EOF should act like 'quit'. (The other interactive
command in the AFS suite, kas, works OK.)
