But it also breaks everything else around SSH, esp. scp [1, 2]. The first link [1] also provides a solution that I want to quote here: """ (file: ~/.bashrc) [... normal .bashrc stuff ...] if [[ $- =~ "i" ]]; then echo "SPEAK OUT LOUD!!!" fi """ The i-flag in $- checks if the shell is interactive or not. With X2Go, this flag will not get set.
