What caused the problem versus how to solve it are two different things. What I do know this these are the contents of a fairly standard Bash .bash_profile
file; via RedHat 7:
# .bash_profile
# Get the aliases and functions
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
. ~/.bashrc
fi
# User specific environment and startup programs
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/.local/bin:$HOME/bin
export PATH
And these are the contents of a fairly standard Bash .bashrc
file; via RedHat 7:
# .bashrc
# Source global definitions
if [ -f /etc/bashrc ]; then
. /etc/bashrc
fi
# Uncomment the following line if you don't like systemctl's auto-paging feature:
# export SYSTEMD_PAGER=
# User specific aliases and functions
Also, the contents of /etc/bashrc
on RedHat 7 are as follows:
# /etc/bashrc
# System wide functions and aliases
# Environment stuff goes in /etc/profile
# It's NOT a good idea to change this file unless you know what you
# are doing. It's much better to create a custom.sh shell script in
# /etc/profile.d/ to make custom changes to your environment, as this
# will prevent the need for merging in future updates.
# are we an interactive shell?

Also note you should only edit files like this with a pure text editor. If you use a word processor or anything “fancier” than that, extra cruft and “gremlins” might be added to your file which would make the system choke on it.
.bash_profile
. We can't tell you what's wrong with it as you don't include it in your question..bash_profile
print, although it doesn´t look any different than when it was originally.. ~/.bashrc;
?if ... fi
lines and deleting the existing ones. Is there a stray'
in there? (the question mentionsfi'
);
didn´t make any change, there is no'
in the file nor anyfi'
, it looks like the image. I have updated the file with same things and remains the same problem.
