The first word on the commandline is run w/o any args, next the rest of the line is run by the shell (2nd word used for command). After such error, if I !!, or ^R, ie use the history to repeat the command, then it works. It happens several times per day. (I did not run rebaseall, will plan to.) # example: "ssh txr6 AT somehost" treated like "ssh; txr6 AT somehost": ~ $ ssh txr6 AT somehost usage: ssh [-1246AaCfgKkMNnqsTtVvXxYy] [-b bind_address] [-c cipher_spec] [-D [bind_address:]port] [-e escape_char] [-F configfile] [-I pkcs11] [-i identity_file] [-L [bind_address:]port:host:hostport] [-l login_name] [-m mac_spec] [-O ctl_cmd] [-o option] [-p port] [-R [bind_address:]port:host:hostport] [-S ctl_path] [-W host:port] [-w local_tun[:remote_tun]] [user@]hostname [command] bash: txr6 AT somehost: command not found ~ $ ssh txr6 AT somehost Last login: Thu Feb 24 16:32:57 CST 2011 on /dev/pts/5 from 10.237.138.122 ****************************************************************** somehost Access to this system is limited to authorized users only.
