Your default shell can be obtained by

Hi all
I have installed Red Hat Linux Advanced Server 2.1 onto a Proliant DL580 (dual XEON 2.8GHz processors).
The bash shell is not autocompleting filenames/directorynames when I hit escape twice. History (via Ctrl+r works). Is there a setting somewhere to enable this?
Thanks. (2 Replies)
Hi,
I enabled the Autocomplete of filename by the command set -o emacs
But i couldn't enjoy the benifits of vi anymore. i.e I couldn't get the command history by pressing Esc and k.
How to enjoy both of this features at a time.?

I'm coming from a c-shell environment where I was spoiled with the tab completion on the command line, only to find that using korn-shell I don't have this capability. The only thing I can find by googling is to use 'set filec' - but that doesn't work (and I think is only for c-shell anyway).

Suppose there exists a file, "/home/andrew/product/test". And suppose I set $FOO to "/home/andrew/product/"? I can't seem to type "$FOO/t" and then Escape (csh) in order to autocomplete.
Is this possible in other shells? If not, then why? If so, then why can't csh do it, and how can I make... (1 Reply)
Hi there,
I'm learning PHP now. $var_name is how to declare a variable.
I was wondering if there is any convenient way in vim to autocomplete the dollar sign($) before a word.
Something like, after typing var_name, then press some key, for example Tab, to automatically add a doller sign... (4 Replies)

Hi, i need autocmplete file_name/dir_name by TAB key. I work on UNIX (TRU64) and I just tried to type on .profile this setting:
set autolist
but it doesn't work. I think it is because this command doesn't belong to this UNIX version (sure it works for example on HP-UX).

rbash
RBASH(1) General Commands Manual RBASH(1)NAME
rbash - restricted bash, see bash(1)RESTRICTED SHELL
If bash is started with the name rbash, or the -r option is supplied at invocation, the shell becomes restricted. A restricted shell is
used to set up an environment more controlled than the standard shell. It behaves identically to bash with the exception that the follow-
ing are disallowed or not performed:
o changing directories with cd
o setting or unsetting the values of SHELL, PATH, ENV, or BASH_ENV
o specifying command names containing /
o specifying a file name containing a / as an argument to the . builtin command
o specifying a filename containing a slash as an argument to the -p option to the hash builtin command
o importing function definitions from the shell environment at startup
o parsing the value of SHELLOPTS from the shell environment at startup
o redirecting output using the >, >|, <>, >&, &>, and >> redirection operators
o using the exec builtin command to replace the shell with another command
o adding or deleting builtin commands with the -f and -d options to the enable builtin command
o using the enable builtin command to enable disabled shell builtins
o specifying the -p option to the command builtin command
o turning off restricted mode with set +r or set +o restricted.
These restrictions are enforced after any startup files are read.
When a command that is found to be a shell script is executed, rbash turns off any restrictions in the shell spawned to execute the script.
