- Every once in a while, bash seems to forget either what the current directory
- is or where to look for files when I try to use <TAB> to complete a filename.
- E.g:
-
- lindholm@kynok$ pwd
- /usr/local/printer/lpd2
- lindholm@kynok$ ls
- a.ps gf@ of@ script@ script~*
- cf@ if@ pr@ script.pl* tf@
- df@ nf@ rf@ script.sh* vf@
- lindholm@kynok$ emacs script<TAB><TAB>
- gives me /usr/ucb/script rather than a listing of the files in my current
- directory.
-
- I don't know what I do to get myself in this state but it is very frustrating.
- Any ideas on how I can reset my state (without having to exit the shell)?
- Thanks
