Help with profile

Ragni Singh — Wed, 05 Nov 2003 10:30:01 GMT

Hi All, I need some help with profile. You see, we have both hp and linux servers. All the home dirs are mounted from HP server. The users on HP are using ksh shell. When users login to Linux, which is setup to use bash shell, they get the following message. Any idea what I can do to eliminate this message for them. Any help here is greatly appreciated.

-bash: tabs: command not found
-bash-2.05b$

Within the .profile you'll find the "tabs" command. This sets tabs on a terminal and you probably don't need it so you can probably just comment it out.

Otherwise change it to this.

[ 'uname` = "HP-UX" ] && tabs

Sanjay,

Post up the profile. This error is probably caused by an error on the first line of the profile where the shell is set.
