I keep getting notifications that
bash --login
is a command that has completed from gnome. Is this bad?
I’m not the one running these commands btw.
I’m on gnome 44.3 on NixOS. I noticed 3 of them but thats it, one of them 3 hours ago and 2 of them 44 minutes ago.
Yeah I checked the manpage but wasn’t sure why this would be running by itself.
No idea why GNOME is giving you these notifications but it may be a Cron task. Check your crontab
Is this when you open a terminal? It tells me stuff like that when my terminal session is done doing something when I didn’t have that windows focused
Are you using some kind of IDE application? Or just standard GUI apps?
I guess I’m running emacs and a couple of shell scripts, but mostly gui apps.
does emacs have an integrated terminal view inside it? Seems like maybe it’s just creating a shell for you to use inside the editor or something? Either way, “bash --login” is just a login shell which I think basically just acts like if you had just logged in instead of inheriting most stuff from whatever process launched it. It in’t “logging in” like some user account or something. Unlikely that it’s something nefarious. At worst, it’s just usual buggy linux software interacting in weird ways.
You can avoid that notification by switching to i3
