From time to time, my terminal shell prompt gets hijacked and set to something useless by another program or process. For example, it currently reads: "qtsoftware >" , probably from a QuickTime update, but I can't say for sure. Anyway, when this happens, I'm unable to reset the prompt to a customized version via .tcshrc -- instead, the unwanted garbage gets prepended to whatever I configure via .tcshrc. Restarting Terminal doesn't help. Any suggestions? This obviously isn't the end of the world, but it's intensely annoying since, when I do need to use Term, I usually use about ten windows at once, and prompts matter.
my .tcshrc setting:
set prompt = "%m [%/] What you say?"
my prompt:
qtsoftware [/Users/kathleenduke] What you say?
my .tcshrc setting:
set prompt = "%m [%/] What you say?"
my prompt:
qtsoftware [/Users/kathleenduke] What you say?
