I recently received an... interesting bug report that I haven't

sycureshell.shtml SycureShell works by writing a command out to a
file in the Application Support folder (in appropriately named
subfolders, of course), which is then chmoded and executed with
open -a Terminal (or something similar for use with X11). This is
all done with NSTask. (Yes, I realize I did things with NSTask I
probably could have done in code, and yes, I realize that the app
is in desperate need of updating.)
The report, which I've only gotten once, is that after deleting the
app, the user could no longer open the Terminal without my script
in the Application Support folder trying to run, whether the script
still existed or not. The command doesn't seem to be in
their .bashrc or .bash_profile anywhere.
I've tried deleting it on a test machine, and haven't been able to
reproduce it. Can anyone shed some light on what might be going on?
When I get a single bug report for an app that works for most people,
I start looking for things that user might be doing differently than
the others.
In this case, it sounds to me like the user may have set his Terminal
preferences to automatically open your startup script, and then
deleted your app without resetting his Terminal prefs.
