Source command stopped working

[Ernie Pantuso]

This is so weird... when I try to run

Code: Select all

source ./.aliases

or

Code: Select all

source ./.bashrc

I get

Code: Select all

me@box ~ > source ./.bashrc
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 77071 Nov 15  2021 /usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion

The cursor sits at that blank line - like it's waiting for me to enter something. Just sits there until I press Ctrl+C. No idea what changed.

What does type -a source say? It should say it's a shell builtin.

[Ernie Pantuso]

Yes. That's what it says.
New info: every time I launch a terminal/shell, I get prompted for my password. I think there's something in .bashrc or .aliases that's causing this and I think somehow they're related.
