I thought I put this question out, but I don't see it. i am trying to
run a program that references bash2 and quits; what command can i use
to make sure that calls to bash2 work ok, i.e bash=bash2 or something
similar. Thanks

Assuming the major version number of the bash package you have is 2 (and
not 1), you could -- as root -- execute:

        ln -s /bin/bash /bin/bash2

That will crate a symbolic link called /bin/bash2 to /bin/bash .

To check your version of bash, do this at the bash shell prompt:

        echo $BASH_VERSION

it will tell you the version of bash you are running.

Thanks; that did the trick. I should have remembered that.
