The claim is that the ;exit appears in .bash_history (not .bashrc) and that this somehow causes a new instance of bash to exit. I doubt anyone will be able to reproduce this. We're almost certainly going to need more information from Ethan -- the contents of the relevant dot files, for example.

Re: ;exit in bash history causes bash to exit
Hello Ethan, I can't reproduce the problem: > Repeat-By: > Open a terminal with bash as the shell > Type `;exit` This results in bash: syntax error near unexpected token `;' but not in closing the shell. > Re-open the terminal, it will immediately close Is there maybe something broken in your setup?
