Source command not found

Post by kooder » 2018/08/03 13:50:46

Hi,

I just got CentOS 6.10 minimal image installed, and ran into an issue as,
[sleo@localhost ~]$ source ~/.bashrc
source: command not found
Below is the sh I was running,
[sleo@localhost ~]$ ls -l `which sh`
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 4 Jul 29 21:55 /bin/sh -> bash
But if I su as root, it can run well.

Any suggestion would be appreciated:)

source is a bash built-in command. Are you using bash? Try:

/bin/bash -c 'source ~/.bashrc'

That's probably going to do nothing. Since it runs in a new shell process, any environment settings will be lost when the process finishes.

It was meant for testing only. Trying to figure out why the source command does not work.

What does running this command give you:

Code: Select all

ps -p $$
