Subject: zsh got stuck without any message because of history lock file
Date: Thu, 24 Apr 2014 18:48:40 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <53594068.4040503@googlemail.com> (raw)
My zsh got stuck without any error message, because the
~/.zsh-history.LOCK file wasn't deleted after a system crash. This is a
real problem if one uses zsh as default shell and therefore can't
execute any command. Luckily i was able to open a bash terminal and used
strace to determine why zsh doesn't respond.
Please add an error message or prompt the user, if the lock should be
deleted.
I'm using zsh "5.0.5 (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu)" on Arch Linux with
Kernel 3.14.1-1-ARCH x86_64.
