This question already has an answer here: Why doesn't “cd” work in a shell script? 29 answers What I'm trying to do I've created a shell script that I've added to my $PATH that will download and get everything setup for a new Laravel project. I would like the script to end by changing my terminal directory into the new project folder. From what I understand right now currently it's only changing the directory of the sub shell where the script is actually running. I can't seem to figure out how to do this. Any help is appreciated.

Here is an example. I'm creating a directory named - and I can't cd into it. The command cd - returnes me to the previous directory. And I'm a bit supprised that cd "-" works the same way.

Lastly, might this be possible with data CDs, like, say, the Diablo II install Disc 1? If so, any directions you can point me in, for accomplishing this? You

Is it possible in bash to expand something like cd /u/lo/b <hit tab> to cd /usr/local/bin ? Aserre Sorry I couldn't post earlier, I was held at work, and the bind function was more issue-prone than I first thought. Here is what I came up with : Bind the following script : #!/bin/bash #$HOME/.bashrc.d/autocomplete.sh autocomplete_wrapper() { BASE="${READLINE_LINE% *} " #we save the line except for the last argument [[ "$BASE" == "$READLINE_LINE " ]] && BASE=""; #if the line has only 1 argument, we set the BASE to blank EXPANSION=($(autocomplete "${READLINE_LINE##* }")) [[ ${#EXPANSION[@]} -gt 1

I have a task and no idea how to tackle it! Basically, I want to disable the CD drive on a PC so our users can't use them. That's how I want to start anyway - ultimately I'd like an icon in the system tray that allows the CD drive(s) to be locked and unlocked providing you know a password. I need somewhere to start though - does anyone know how to disable the use of a CD drive in VB.net? Any help would be appreciated. Andrew I found a way to do this. Basically I needed to loop through all the items in the device manager like this: search = New System.Management.ManagementObjectSearcher("SELECT
