I loved the hint, now how do I remove the AskApache bash_profile? My problem was with the accent that does not work.

My English is poor, sorry!

@slavik ~

To install calendar files in your ~/.calendar directory:

$ U='http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/~checkout~/src/usr.bin/calendar/calendars/';
$ mkdir ~/.calendars
$ cd ~/.calendars
$ curl $(for f in `curl -sSo - $U|sed '/">calendar./!d;s,^.*">calendar.([^<]*),1,g'`;do echo -n " -O ${U}calendar.${f}";done);

This will then print out the calendar items

$ sed -n "/$(date +%m\/%d\|%b* %d)/p" $(find ~/.calendar /usr/share/calendar -maxdepth 1 -type f -name 'c*' 2>/dev/null);

Thanks for this post and share script. Though, I confirm that sourceing the script in a terminal rids the bash's history expansion (like feigner I would not imagine my life without !! and !$ substitutions). Perhaps, I need no such many aliases from those bangs :-) My $.02 medicine was either to source script as bash -lH askapache-bash-profile.txt or to type set -H on login to return history expansion back. What's about histexpand option in your script? And more, some Linux distros have not installed dos2unix by default (e.g. Ubuntu's tofrodos pkg obsoletes dos2unix).

@Wojtek

you have DOS line endings in the file. Open in vim, enter :set ff=unix then :x to save it back out. Then it should work.

First I want to thank askapache for sharing the fruit of his labor, then, not to complain, but rather query about an issue I'm having using the "bash_profile for Advanced Users. When I utilize this .bash_profile, I loose a feature that I really like in bash which is the use of special history completion using "!!", "!$", "!df", "!23", "!-3" and the like. I've looked at lots of bash documentation and even tried commenting out parts of you the profile to turn off history functions, but nothing works. Any Ideas?

Amazing! My bash_profile looked so skinny.. thanks for the share. (And truly it is bash that is the heart of evrything on askapache)

The script looks great but for some reason I'm getting:

# ./askapache-bash-profile.sh
-bash: ./askapache-bash-profile.sh: /bin/bash

: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
I do have bash :) and /bin/bash do exists. Any idea why is this happening?
# dos2unix -dv askapache-bash-profile.sh
