I am new to Linux and was using windows since my childhood because i was not familiar to unix much. But now all this is really great! Guys! I am facing one problem and hope u will solve my problem....

I am using Fedoracore 2 with dual booting system the other OS is windows.
When i logged in to Fedoracore 2 and opened the terminal i am getting error message as follows



bash: Usage:: command not found
bash: stop: command not found
bash: restart: command not found
bash: condrestart: command not found
bash: status}: command not found
bash-2.05b#

Previously it was like

anish@root$

can anybody solve my problem


Thanks & Regards
Anish

Has this problem existed since you installed Fedora? Or did Fedora initially work OK and this problem cropped up later?

Are you issuing these commands as user or root?

Try this command to help diagnose the problem:

echo $PATH

Hello
I treid wht u tld
that echo $PATH

I am getting reply as

/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/root/bin

Installaton was sucessful. this problem came long time after installation.

There are no such utitlities as Usage, stop, restart, condrestart, status}.
And you should've read any review of standard UNIX commands before posting.

Hello
This is not my lines...
These are system generated....
May be u have not face this problem in past.....

.bash_profile files will have the commands that will automatically executed when the user gets login , i think the those command are executed from that file..

this (.bash_profile ) file will be present in the user home directory ..

HI Arub

I solved this problem and u r right! The .bashrc of root was crrupted so i copied .bashrc file of one user to root and its again back to normal.
Thanks for your support.
