I have had this issue every once in a while and it gets very annoying. If I mistype a command it will then had just ">" appear instead of my PS1 variable. I try and redo the command I enter and it does nothing but create a new line with the ">" character. I try typing 'exit' and pressing the escape key but nothing gets me out of it except for closing terminal. How do I get out of this recursive problem?
For this issue I was just messing about with the echo command.
Don't ask me why I tried to make the console do arithmetic for no reason.. but still the issue happens to me every once in a while and I would like to know how to get out of this issue.
For this issue I was just messing about with the echo command.
Code:
[johnsnow@localhost ~]$ echo "13*4*3
>exit
>echo "something"
