[Nottingham] ssh and tab autocomplete in BASH

[Martin]

Jason,

Something added to your /etc/hosts file or something getting added to
your bash aliases?

Do you recognise the misspelling?

A new host added to your network?...


And in all desperation... You could try a:

grep -r 'misspelling_annoyance' wherever/likely/or/possible


Such is the beauty of human readable text config files and a consistent
set of tools to access them!

(Cue signature song for Brick in The Wall:

We don't need no steenking systemd...
We don't need no registrys...
...
System! Leave that binary alone!)

:-)


Good luck?

Cheers,
Martin
