How To Fix Corrupted Bash (.bash_profile) on Linux.

Today we will see the process of reinstating a corrupted bash (.bash_profile) in a quick and an easy way. Simply follow the steps given below and recover your corrupted bash profile.

Log into your server via SSH and check for the below mentioned files, because if they aren’t present then you need to create them on the server one-by-one.

File 1.  # cat /root/.bash_profile

File  2. # cat /root/.bashrc

File  3. # cat /root/.bash_logout

——————————–

Be very sure to create the above missing files and enter the code in each as given below.

Now edit the file with your favorite editor. I’ll be using vi editor here.

1.  Command –

# vi /root/.bash_profile

CODE:

————————————————–
# .bash_profile

# Get the aliases and functions
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
. ~/.bashrc
fi

# User specific environment and startup programs

PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin

export PATH
unset USERNAME
————————————————–

2.   Command –

# vi /root/.bashrc

CODE:
————————————————–
# .bashrc

# User specific aliases and functions

# Source global definitions
if [ -f /etc/bashrc ]; then
. /etc/bashrc
fi
————————————————–

3.  Command –

# vi /root/.bash_logout

CODE:
————————————————–

# ~/.bash_logout

clear

————————————————–

Now logout and log-in again to confirm the changes.
