Re: [newbie] hostname: bash-2.05
I can't find the original email sent on this topic, but it says that the hostname was replaced with the bash-2.05$. Are you simply referring to the prompt? Or is the hostname actually saying it's bash-2.05$? As for the request for a standard /etc/skel/.bashrc and /etc/skel/.bash_profile, here's what I have. I have edited mine a bit since I do have a few users that log on remotely to this machine. == [root@r2d2 skel]# less .bashrc # .bashrc # Source global definitions if [ -r /etc/bashrc ]; then . /etc/bashrc fi [root@r2d2 skel]# less .bash_profile # .bash_profile # Get the aliases and functions if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then . ~/.bashrc fi PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin USERNAME=`id -nu` USERID=`id -nu` export PATH USERNAME USERID BASH_ENV=$HOME/.bashrc == On some of my machines I actually have a simple /etc/skel/.aliases and I add a line in /etc/skel/.bash_profile that reads: souce $HOME/.aliases I'm pretty sure I just misunderstood what you were talking about with the bash-2.05$ for a hostname, but if that's the case, edit /etc/sysconfig/network to have all your correct information.

Re: [newbie] hostname: bash-2.05
The later version of bash does not mess up your bashrc, but it won't restore your lost one either, if I understand you correctly. Jay On Friday 07 September 2001 11:17, I was honored with this communique: right, some more interesting facts i have just discovered: i have lost the pretty colors in my terminal. it doesn't appear to live in /etc, now i dont know if that's bad or not, but there is where it lives: bash-2.05$ locate bashrc /etc/skel/.bashrc /home/antoine/.bashrc bash-2.05$ cd / bash-2.05$ locate bash-2.05 /var/cache/grpmi/bash-2.05-6mdk.i586.rpm /usr/share/doc/bash-2.05 /usr/share/doc/bash-2.05/README /usr/share/doc/bash-2.05/CHANGES would trying to upgrade it with a later bash-2.05 from mandrake cooker possibly solve my probleme?(i suppose i could try, and i will unless somebody tells me it's a bad idea) On Thursday 06 September 2001 20:09, you wrote: Well, when I loaded bash-2.05, I didn't have any hostname issues as such, but it did rename /etc/bashrc to /etc/bashrc.rpmnew - which caused a bit of confusion as my custom prompt was located there. All I had to do was change the name of the file back and all was well. Hope this helps.

Re: [newbie] invoking bash scripts
On Saturday 14 April 2001 18:28, you wrote: I tried ./scriptname and bash reports "No such file or directory". I can ls and it shows scriptname* which should indicate that it is executable and in the current directory. Careful here. Scripts can be confused in the sense that it'll report 'no such file' when in reality it's not looking at your script (which is there) but at the interpreter in the first line, and complaining about that. bash should (and usually is) invoked as '#! /bin/sh' so I'd try that first. Even so, there should be a symlink in /bin that points 'bash' to 'sh' (or vice versa) so that '#! /bin/sh' or '#! /bin/bash' should produce equivalent behavior. cdrom. Many of the commands fail (e.g. echo -n "Where do you work"). Funny, it prints that text even though I'm not working right now :(. 'echo' is a built in for bash, but there is also a command 'echo'. According to the echo manpage, -n just doesn't give a trailing new line. -- David E. Fox Thanks for letting me [EMAIL PROTECTED]change magnetic patterns [EMAIL PROTECTED] on your hard disk. ---
Re: [newbie] invoking bash scripts
Hi Dean, Likely your system is set up (properly so) without the current directory in the path. To invoke a shell script named, say, foo.sh, type this: ./foo.sh (Notice the leading dot-slash) and it should run. This indicates that the script is in the current directory: dot represents the current directory, slash is the pathname separator.

I have created a script with the #!/bin/bash as the first line and have chmod +x scriptname to make it executable but it will not execute unless I issue the "bash scriptname" command (preceed the scriptname with the command bash).

Re: [newbie] invoking bash scripts
I tried ./scriptname and bash reports "No such file or directory". I can ls and it shows scriptname* which should indicate that it is executable and in the current directory. btw: I bought the book "LINUX Shells by Example" by Ellie Quigley and have been trying to run some of the scripts from the cdrom. Many of the commands fail (e.g. echo -n "Where do you work"). Any other ideas? Thanks in advance.
