Hi,

What is the command you're trying to run/execute?

Seems like you have a messed-up line in your .bashrc (or possibly .profile or .bash_profile.)

I run BASH command
Is there anyway to resolve it

Hi,

BASH is not a command.....

Are you trying to start a new shell (ie: bash<enter> or are you trying to start a bash 'command' (if so, which one).

"bash" is the name of the typical Linux shell. You would not normally ever enter this as a command. If you do enter "bash", it should just start another shell and not retrun any message.

Please post the exact contents (copy and paste) of the terminal window, including the command you are running, and the error message coming back.

I assume that some application that utilizes Java is sending the error to your default bash shell (which is a terminal). You need to sort out for yourself what runs on your Computer. Stating that you run the "bash command" is not a hint, it only adds to the confusion if you put it that way.
