scp + .bashrc buglet

[Christian Vogel]

Hi,

just check in your .bashrc if this shell is really
a interactive one, for example like this, to avoid
messing around with the output of e.g. shell-scripts...:

--- .bashrc: ---
case "$-" in
	*i*) # Interactive Shell!
		echo "Welcome on `hostname`!" # Hello
		/usr/games/fortune   # Fortune
		ddate                # Discordian Date
		PS1='\u@\h \w\$'     # Fancy Prompt
		# check for mail
		# blah...
	;;
esac

	Chris
