Re: Tab Completion and Typical Behavior

I have a question about tab completion in the console window. The
.bash_profile exports the right paths and the console performs tab

myscript.sh, but can not tab complete ./myscript.sh; or sh
myscript.sh. Is this behavior normal? Can I change the console
behavior to tab out ./myscript.sh?

#.bash_profile
# Set PATH so it includes user's private bin if it exists
if [ -d "${HOME}/bin" ] ; then
   PATH=${HOME}/bin:${PATH}

WFFM.  Assuming the script is executable, it should work.  But if it isn't
executable, I would expect that it wouldn't work for either variant.  But
maybe you have two versions of 'myscript.sh', one in ~/bin and one
elsewhere, where the one elsewhere is executable and the one in ~/bin is
not.  If not, I'd recommend reading the bash man page for helpful hints.
