logging on without executing bashprofile
 

hello,
greetings all ye people out there
the probelm i'm facing is that i have written a shell program in .bash_profile(located in my home directory) in which i have written an 'exit' statement.
now, whenever i login the system shell immediately exits-because .bash_profile gets executed first- and comes back to the login prompt. I've tried logging in in graphical mode and in failsafe session but NOTHING works . I can't do anything!
I am not the root . Now, can u suggest any solution which solves my problem (without me approaching the sys admn ,of course)?

Hi,

You need another account to access your 'broken' account. If you do have another account you can do the following.

Login to the other account and then do:

su - <org_user> --noprofile

Edit the .bash_profile, exit both accounts and you should be OK again.

If you do not have access to a second account you do need to ask the sysadmin to solve this.

Hope this helps.

thanks a million!!
