ubuntu : how to clear $SHELL history

Question

No command 'exprt' found, did you mean:
 Command 'expr' from package 'coreutils' (main)
exprt: command not found

i got this msg everytime i open the terminal. 'exprt' is my typo error during installation. I've tried

# history -c
# history -cw

but it still can't get rid of this problem, especially when

# exec $SHELL

it prompt the same error as well

any solution? I'm newbie to ubuntu...

Answer 1

Could this just be a typo in one of your shell configuration files?

Try running the following to search your .profile, .bash_profile, .bashrc, and so on for the offending line:

grep 'exprt' ~/.*

If you find the typo, edit the line so that is says "export" instead of "exprt", if that is what it should be.
