Are you thinking that setting shopts should in some way be persistent across program invocations? That would be pretty annoying and a severe bug if it did. Are you forgetting to put your desired configuration into ~/.bashrc where it is loaded when bash starts? Are you forgetting to put source "$HOME/.bashrc" into your ~/.bash_profile where it will source your .bashrc when you log into your account? Bob
