Off-Topic: Question on Terminal


  • Subject: Off-Topic: Question on Terminal

Hello All,

I know that this is not about AppleScript, but I don't know where else to ask such a question. If anyone knows of a better place to ask, please let me know.

Basically, I am having trouble with Terminal as it is opening, it tries to run the last command that was run, and then it logs out of the shell. There is, effectively, no way to open up a Terminal window and get a command line prompt.

Is there some preference that is causing this to happen? I went thru the Preferences window, but did not see anything out of the norm. Currently, the preferences are:

Execute the default shell using /usr/bin/login

I have also tried to use the "Execute this command" with a setting of /bin/bash, but that still does the same thing.

This problem has only started today, after I was trying to install the Quark License Server. Quark's tech support basically told me that this is not their problem, as Terminal is an Apple application. All this, despite the fact that this problem DID NOT occur prior to the install of their server.


Thanks for any assistance you might have to offer...


Mike
