FreeBsd bash tab completion

Filed under: Linux — Tags: , , , , — admin @ 10:23 am

Hello
Today I have to work on a system with FreeBSD7.0-RELEASE-p5 . Well after login I nottice that tab autocomplete don’t work. Hmm this in linux is quite handy. So .. after a little search I see that I didn’t use bash but sh.
So to check your shell run this command:
echo $SHELL

If you see something like this
/bin/sh

you may want to switch to bash.
chsh -s /usr/local/bin/bash

After relogin the tab completion should work.
