This has worked with all linuxes so far and does not give any error with bash when I source .bashrc so I regard it as an allowed function name. After I upgraded to ubuntu12 I get the following entry in my .xsession-errors /root/home/bmdadm/.bashrc: line 70: `l.’: not a valid identifier I have commented the function and then get cat .xsession-errors /etc/bash_completion.d/apport_completion: line 107: `_apport-bug’: not a valid identifier It seems that the unitiy Xserver has some bugs or flaws as it complains about identifiers which are allowed syntax in bash. There are other bash_completion packages which also use '_' as the first characters so the Xserver needs to accept those variable or function names.
