    <p>Basic problem: When I open a new tab in terminal, bash fails with the following error output:</p> <pre><code>bash: -c: line 0: syntax error near unexpected token `(' bash: -c: line 0: `exec -la (null) (null) -1' [Process completed] </code></pre> <p>In preferences, I have new tabs set to open with same settings/directory. </p> <p>I've been messing around learning to customize the bash prompt area, actually in an attempt to fix this problem, but to no avail. I messed around with /etc/bashrc before I realized I should do that by user, I've reset that file to look like this:</p> <pre><code># System-wide .bashrc file for interactive bash(1) shells. if [ -z "$PS1" ]; then return fi PS1='\h:\W \u\$ ' # Make bash check its window size after a process completes shopt -s checkwinsize # Tell the terminal about the working directory at each prompt. if [ "$TERM_PROGRAM" == "Apple_Terminal" ] &amp;&amp; [ -z "$INSIDE_EMACS" ]; then update_terminal_cwd() { # Identify the directory using a "file:" scheme URL, # including the host name to disambiguate local vs. # remote connections. Percent-escape spaces. local SEARCH=' ' local REPLACE='%20' local PWD_URL="file://$HOSTNAME${PWD//$SEARCH/$REPLACE}" printf '\e]7;%s\a' "$PWD_URL" } PROMPT_COMMAND="update_terminal_cwd; $PROMPT_COMMAND" fi </code></pre> <p>Finally, my ~/.bash_profile looks like this:</p> <pre><code>source /etc/bashrc export PATH=~/Code:/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin. export CLASSPATH=~/Programs/:~/Programs/bailey.jar:~/Programs/labs/:. export PYTHONPATH=~/dm/:~/Code/Git/.:. </code></pre> <p>If anyone can give me any suggestions, that would be wonderful.</p>

    1. COLooks like `update_terminal_cwd()` is throwing an error. What is this function you are trying to call?

    2. CO@thecoloryes Do you know what the escape sequence `\e]7;` does? For me, it blanks out all the input/output on the console until the shell receives a `Enter` key. Are you trying to colorize the output of `printf`?

    3. CO@AtlasWegman I don't know what that function does. The bashrc file is exactly the way it was before I changed anything, so the only way that method would have been define is by OSX itself, or by the installation of something that decided it had a reason to edit that file.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
