Changing directory echoes "Directory: <pwd>"


I have an annoying problem when using Screen on my SLED10 machine. When changing directory (cd, chdir, pushd/popd) the resulting path is echoed in the terminal.

user@/home/user> cd ..
Directory: /home
user@/home> 

This problem only seem to exist in Screen. I have checked my prompt and it does not contain anything related to this behavior. I am using tcsh/xterm.

How do I get rid of the echo of the directory?!

Best Regards, Stefan


Solution

  • Maybe cd has been overridden with an alias or a function.

    Once in screen, use:
    alias cd to see if there is an alias and
    declare -f to check your functions.
