Thanks. But this isn't having the effect that I wished for. What I'm hoping to achieve is to have bash run something like a wrapper around each and every command line that I run. For example, if I issue the command 'ls' I want bash to run something first, with ls as the argument. Does that make more sense? ----- http://www.s5h.net/ http://www.s5h.net/ -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/execution-hook-tp21425515p21435288.html Sent from the Gnu - Bash mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
