bash 1.04, Sun OS 4.0.3, SPARCstation, gcc-compiled... My home directory is /u/karney. This is a symbolic link to /usr1/karney. /etc/passwd lists my shell as /bin/bash. When I log in, PWD is /usr1/karney. I think it should be /u/karney. Similarly whenever I create a new subshell the links are followed (effectively making PWD=`pwd`). Next two features are suggested by tcsh: I'd like to be able to specify a command to be run on every cd, pushd, popd. (So I can put the current directory into the title of my xterm window.) I'd like pushd +n to rotate the top n+1 elements of dirs by 1. (Currently it rotates all the elements by -n.) That way useless directories migrate to the end of dirs.

window.)
In my .bashrc:
xtitle () { echo -n -e "\033]l$*\033" }
function cd_xtitle () {
if [ "$cd_xtitle_pwd" != "$PWD" ]; then
if [ -z "$tty" ]; then tty=`tty | sed -e s:/dev/ttyp::`; fi
xtitle "$HOST:$PWD (${tty})"
cd_xtitle_pwd=$PWD
fi
}
case $TERM in
xterm | hpterm)
PROMPT_COMMAND=cd_xtitle
