Please tell us *exactly* what "opened my xterm this morning" means. Did you run a new instance of xterm? Did you un-minimize an existing instance? Are you using a persistent tmux or screen session? Here are a few commands whose output might be helpful: declare -p PS0 PS1 PROMPT_COMMAND ps -fp $PPID trap DEBUG PS4='+ $BASH_SOURCE:$FUNCNAME:$LINENO:' bash -ixc : 2>&1 | grep YEAR PS4='+ $BASH_SOURCE:$FUNCNAME:$LINENO:' bash -ilxc : 2>&1 | grep YEAR
