Yesterday I also spent 1 hour or so learning how Info pages are browsed and all that funny commands.
I needed it to look at `info tar` because in `man tar` you will find out that
the GNU folks, in general, abhor man pages, and create info documents instead.
Today, in a moment of craziness I launched `man bash`. This is just because I remembered
malveo saying something like this during last
webb.it: “if I dont know what to do, I launch `man bash` and I am sure I will be learning something new”.
The first thing you learn when you launch `man bash` is that /etc/profile and /etc/bash.bashrc are included respectively on launch of non-login and interactive shells.
I created a /etc/bash.common file, in which I wrote all the commands common to both shell types and included and source’d in both files, leaving specific configuration in the 2 files.
Now friends are coming to watch Italy-Sweden together, so I better get prepared.
See you soon.
