From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

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.

-l Make bash act as if it had been invoked as a login shell (see INVOCATION below).

--login Equivalent to -l.

This is an excerpt from the bash manpage. So likely no, this isn't a bad thing and this is just GNOME sourcing your environment variables. You need to tell us how frequent these notification are and when they happen (also what GNOME version you're using as well as which distribution you are using). We can't help you if you don't provide that.

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.

Really strange... Was there any pattern you could discern from the occurrences?

Then likely you can ignore it, or configure GNOME notifications to not display it to you. You could also seek help in NixOS related forums or continue trying to replicate the issue.

Alright, thanks for the help :)
