I just grabbed the source for bash from http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/bash/. (http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/bash/bash-4.2.tar.gz)
Opening the doc/bash.1 file with man, I noticed that this is the state of that paragraph in that source package: "Bash attempts to determine when it is being run with its standard input connected to a network connection, as when executed by the remote shell daemon, usually rshd, or the secure shell daemon sshd. If bash deter‐ mines it is being run in this fashion, it reads and executes commands from ~/.bashrc, if that file exists and is readable. It will not do this if invoked as sh. The --norc option may be used to inhibit this behavior, and the --rcfile option may be used to force another file to be read, but rshd does not generally invoke the shell with those options or allow them to be specified." So it seems to me that the file name was simply duplicated and was only supposed to be mentioned once. So the solution is probably just to remove the duplication. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/922023 Title: Typo in bash manual ("from ~/.bashrc and ~/.bashrc") To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnubash/+bug/922023/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
