Subject: problem with named directories over the net
Date: Fri, 11 Jan 2002 13:41:58 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20020111134158.F852@lifebits.de> (raw)
I like to shorten my prompt by using '~' instead of the full path
to my home directory. For example:
/ $ cd ~/bin
~/bin $
Now the problem occurs when I fire up mc. Upon leaving mc, a
script from the mc documentation cds into the current path and I
get something like
/net/server/share/home/luthien/bin $
as the prompt because this is where my home directory comes from.
/home is a symbolic link to /net/server/share/home. Any idea how
I can prevent this?
The function I start mc with looks like this:
------------------------ snip --------------------
# midnight commander (change dir after exit)
mc ()
{
local MC
MC=/tmp/mc$$-"$RANDOM"
if [ "$TERM" = xterm -o "$TERM" = rxvt ] ; then
/usr/bin/mc -a -c -d -u -x -P "$@" > "$MC"
else
/usr/bin/mc -a -c -d -u -P "$@" > "$MC"
fi
cd `cat "$MC"`
rm "$MC"
unset MC;
}
------------------------ snip --------------------
Bye
Dominik ^_^ ^_^
