Problem in running bash shell commands on HP-UX machine
Hello All,

After login to the server we are explicitly calling /usr/local/bin/bash to activate bash shell properly.
But since commands are not executing properly so I think it is not initialized well. I am facing following problems:
1) If I want to have a look on a particular file using tail command say last 20000 lines i.e. tail -20000 file.txt , it is not working it is showing me the default number of lines. On the other hand tail -f file.txt is working fine(Basically for logging info.)
2) On pressing the up arrow key button(get the previous command from bash_history) and display the commands but it is not happening at all. Also if I press down arrow key button and then press up key button it show me the previous command but in vi mode.

Please suggest me the way.

Thanks & Regards
Abhishek

NAME

       shells - shell database

SYNOPSIS

       /etc/shells

DESCRIPTION

       The shells file contains a list of the shells on the system. Applications use this file to determine whether a shell is valid. See getuser-
       shell(3C). For each shell a single line should be present, consisting of the shell's path, relative to root.

       A hash mark (#) indicates the beginning of a comment; subsequent characters up to the end of the line are not interpreted by  the  routines
       which search the file. Blank lines are also ignored.

       The  following  default	shells are used by utilities: /bin/bash, /bin/csh, /bin/jsh, /bin/ksh, /bin/pfcsh, /bin/pfksh, /bin/pfsh, /bin/sh,
       /bin/tcsh,  /bin/zsh,  /sbin/jsh,  /sbin/sh,  /usr/bin/bash,  /usr/bin/csh,  /usr/bin/jsh,  /usr/bin/ksh,  /usr/bin/pfcsh,  /usr/bin/pfksh,
       /usr/bin/pfsh, and /usr/bin/sh, /usr/bin/tcsh, /usr/bin/zsh. Note that /etc/shells overrides the default list.

       Invalid shells in /etc/shells may cause unexpected behavior (such as being unable to log in by way of ftp(1)).

FILES

       /etc/shells	       lists shells on system
