(y or n)[enter] Although I can reproduce this in bash 4.2 it is not reproducible for me in bash 4.3. I assume that it was improved there. One problem in your example is that your bash does not have a tty attached to it. Add -t to ssh and you will then get a tty and you won't need to redirect 2>/dev/null anymore. ssh -t localhost bash Bob

Re: tab completion sort by modification time

I think there would be a larger general interest if this were expanded to a shopt that affects the ordering of globs as well. It's pretty common for people in #bash to ask for a script that will return the oldest file (or newest file, or oldest 10 files, etc.) in a directory. Doing this right now is possible (using [[ $file1 -ot $file2 ]] in a loop) but awkward, particularly if you want more than one file.
