Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: bash
When bash encounters a command that it can't locate, it calls the
function command_not_found_handle if available, which then usually calls
the python command-not-found script.
But bash only passes the first argument from the command line on to
command_not_found_handle. This is OK for the command-not-found script,
but makes it difficult to extend.
For example, I have modified /etc/bash.bashrc to run this:
/usr/bin/python /usr/lib/command-not-found -- $1 || ssh $@ && return 0 ||
return 75
This allows me to type in the name of a machine I'd like to ssh to. As long as
it isn't also the name of a program, then this works (and is very handy). But I
can't do something like this:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:$ remotehost -l archer
All that is passed to the command_not_found_handle function is 'remotehost', so
the ssh never sees the other arguments.
Just to be clear: this is an issue with what is being passed to the
command_not_found_handle function, and not an issue with what happens
inside the function.
