Showing bash instead of name as Expert (When openning Expert Mode)

Chinmaya_Naik — Mon, 16 May 2022 09:57:42 GMT

Hi Checkmates,

We able to see "bashxx" instead of "Expert with hostname".

In clish mode its showing as per the expectation 👍

Able to run Expert related command👍

1. For testing we change the shell to /bin/bash/ but no luck 👎

Reboot is Pending for test but can't because its a live environment.

Please help if any one face this kind of issue or anyone have any suggestion.

Your admin shell is set to bash: admin:x:0:0::/home/admin:/bin/bash, that's why.

Set to cli.sh, similar to "monitor" user. It is most probably was changed manually.

@_Val_ is 100% right, as usual. You need to change the shell...so /bin/bash is to expert mode right away and /etc/cli.sh is regular shell.

That's not the problem. The problem is the prompt is showing 'bash-4.4#', which happens when the /etc/bashrc isn't run for some reason.

With the user's shell set to /bin/bash, BASH should be launched as an interactive shell and a login shell. Both of those should cause the /etc/bashrc to be run. When the user's shell is set to /etc/cli.sh and they elevate to expert, BASH is launched as an interactive shell (so /etc/bashrc still runs) but not a login shell. Since it clearly isn't working as expected, maybe /etc/bashrc isn't readable?

@Bob_Zimmerman

Yes correct explanation about my issue.

Only I need to know solution and the difference between them like Expert and bash name as per the screenshot.
