From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I keep getting notifications that

bash --login

is a command that has completed from gnome. Is this bad?

I'm not the one running these commands btw.

Are you using some kind of IDE application? Or just standard GUI apps?

[–] Euphoma@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I guess I'm running emacs and a couple of shell scripts, but mostly gui apps.

Then it might be one of those scripts

Yeah, you're right, it happens after my music scraping script finishes (It takes like 30 minutes so I wasn't able to make the connection). I realized this a couple hours ago.

does emacs have an integrated terminal view inside it? Seems like maybe it's just creating a shell for you to use inside the editor or something? Either way, "bash --login" is just a login shell which I think basically just acts like if you had just logged in instead of inheriting most stuff from whatever process launched it. It in't "logging in" like some user account or something. Unlikely that it's something nefarious. At worst, it's just usual buggy linux software interacting in weird ways.

does emacs have [...] inside it?

Yes, it's emacs.

Seriously, it even has multiple terminal emulators.
