completion example

completion example

[Jesper Holmberg]

Hi all,

I found this in one of the example-files:

compctl -j -P '%' + -s '`ps -x | tail +2 | cut -c1-5`' + \
	-x 's[-] p[1]' -k "($signals[1,-3])" -- kill

If I try to use it, wanting to kill a certain PID, say 238, I hit
"kill 2[tab]", and get the following output:

kill 2Bad syntax, perhaps a bogus '-'?
38

Now, the funny thing is this actually works; process 238 will be killed if
I hit return. But how do I get rid of the error message?

TIA

Jesper

Ah, thanks. I should've been able to figure that one out by myself,
shouldn't I.
