I'm having a rather curious problem and wondered if anyone had some input: I can set -o vi at the bash prompt and will get correct functioning of the shell, shell editor environment, and history viewing/editing (as per the vi-like shell editing option). Further, I can add set -o vi to my .bashrc and manually source the config file (. .bashrc) and will also get correct shell behaviour. However, if I leave that set -o vi in the rc file, log out and log back in, I lose my history viewing/editing capability. A diff of the output from set, set -o, and env under each shell configuration doesn't turn up any obvious culprits. Last, $HISTCMD, $HISTFILE, $HISTFILESIZE, $HISTSIZE all exist under both configurations -- and problems there would have should up in comparative diffs of the env output in each shell. I get the same behaviour with the rhcn bash-2 rpm. Any suggestions? jeff -- To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject.
