Not every server I use has bash so I wanted to add an option to check if bash exists. This is what I tried. This is the error message it gives "-bash: [: missing `]'". It works before I add the and option.
The problem with the above is, if bash exists but you are not running bash, your shell will baulk at an instruction in the .bashrc file.
Try something like this at the end of your .profile:
This way, if bash exists, but is not your login shell, your shell will switch to bash at the end of the .profile. You can also add a test for bash being in /usr/local/bin.

COMMAND-NOT-FOUND(1) http://en.opensuse.org/Sco COMMAND-NOT-FOUND(1)NAME
command-not-found - A command-not-found handler
SYNOPSIS
command-not-found {binary_name} {repository}
ARGUMENTS
The following arguments are required:
binary_name
The name of binary you are looking for.
repository
The name of repository for search. For most cases, use zypp
DESCRIPTION
command-not-found handler is designed to tell users which package contains a missing command.
The handler is integrated to bash(1) and zsh(1) shells and is not necessary to call it directly. Just type a name of the command in your
favourite shell and you'll get a result.
If you consider c-n-f handler useless, just add unset command_not_found_handle to your profile or remove the command-not-found package.
Handler doesn't call the command-not-found binary directly, it only prints info about it. If you want to invoke it automatically, just add
export COMMAND_NOT_FOUND_AUTO=1 to your bash profile.
EXAMPLE : NORMAL USAGE
For example you want to try blender, because you have heard that is an amazing program. So just type blender in shell:
$ blender
You get the following output:
The program 'blender' can be found in the following package:
* blender [ path: /usr/bin/blender, repository: zypp (openSUSE 11.1-0) ]
Try installing with:
sudo zypper install blender
bash: blender: command not found
