Function inside .profile results in no log-in
- by bioShark
I've created a custom function in my .profile, and I've added right at the bottom, after my custom aliases :
# custom functions
function eclipse-gtk {
cd ~/development/eclipse-juno
./eclipse_wb.sh &
cd -
}
The function starts a custom version of my eclipse.
After I've added it, because I didn't wanted to log-out/log-in, I've reloaded my profile with the command:
. ~/.profile
and then I've tested my function by calling eclipse-gtk and it worked without any issue.
Today when I booted, I couldn't log in. After providing my password, in a few seconds I was back at the log-in screen. Dropping to command line using CTR + ALT + F1, I've commented out the function in my .profile and the log-in was possible without any issue.
My question is, what did I do wrong when I wrote the function? And if there is something wrong, why did it work yesterday after reloading the profile.
Thanks in advance.
