Rebuilding bash source
so i have many scripts that have to run when the bash source is installed as normal.
however, some users have found a way to build bash from source and while doing so, they altered some default settings.
my question is, what can i put in my script to check that the "flags.c" binary and make sure the "echo_command_at_execute =0" has not been changed?
also, that the BASH_XTRACEFD has not been changed/set.
please advise.
basically, all i want to do is be able to know when a user runs one of my scripts, i want to be able to know if the bash source on the user's machine has been altered from its default state/settings. what can i check for?

gst-complete
gst-complete-0.8(1) User Commands gst-complete-0.8(1)
NAME
gst-complete-0.8, gst-complete - perform bash completion for gst-launch command lines
SYNOPSIS
complete -Cgst-complete-0.8 gst-launch
gst-complete [--gst-list-mm] [--gst-mm=string] [--print]
DESCRIPTION
gst-complete-0.8 enables bash to provide context-sensitive tab completion for gst-launch command lines. See gst-launch(1) for the syntax of
gst-launch command lines.
You must have a version of bash that supports programmable completion. Such versions of bash provide the complete built-in command.
gst-complete is a wrapper script that runs the latest installed version of gst-complete-X.X. For example, if both gst-complete-0.7 and gst-
complete-0.8 are installed on your system, gst-complete runs gst-complete-0.8.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported by gst-complete-0.8 and gst-complete:
--help Display detailed usage message. You can also use -? to specify this option.
The following options are supported by gst-complete only:
--gst-list-mm List found major/minor versions. This option displays the versions that are available.
--gst-mm=string Force major/minor version. This option enables you to specify a specific version to run, if you do not want to run the
default version.
--print Print wrapped command line. This option displays the command that will be run, and then runs the command.
EXAMPLES
Example 1: Generating the Registry of Available Plugins by Running gst-compprep
Run the following command in your .bash_profile or other appropriate place:
example% complete -C gst-complete-0.8 gst-launch
Example 2: Running the Wrapper Script and Displaying the Command Name
example% gst-complete --print
/usr/bin/gst-complete-0.8
FILES
The following files are used by this application:
/usr/bin/gst-complete-0.Executable for bash completion for gst-launch
/usr/bin/gst-complete Wrapper script that runs the latest installed version of gst-complete-X.X
