Somebody just sent me a private reply along these same lines. Here is
my reply to him (I thought I was replying to the list):
cd is not aliased. But that got me thinking...
cd *is* redefined in my .bashrc file. I totally forgot about that; I
did it years ago. Comment out the redefinition and: Hurray! Thanks for
that! It's been a thorn in my side for a very long time.
For those curious about why I would redefine cd, I think it was
because I wanted to auto-execute scripts when I entered certain
directories:
cd ()
{
builtin cd $1 || return
[[ -f ./.autorun ]] && . ./.autorun
}
Now I guess that won't work. Oh well, that's a smaller problem. It was
really a silly solution to a non-problem anyway. Although now I'm
curious if there's a way to fix the function. Could $1 be replaced by
anything that might work?
