What is BASH_LOGIN file?

The file with the extension BASH_LOGIN is the Settings Files file type. It was designed by GNU Project. Additionally, the Settings Files category contains 1305 of other files. Unix Shell Script (bash) appears on 2 operating systems as a functional file. The file will work on Linux, Mac OS systems, unfortunately not on others. The Bash application is recommended to open the file. It was released by GNU Project. This file type can also be opened by 3 other programs. Mac OS X, Linux operating systems, Unix will apply when it is not possible to use Bash.

How to open BASH_LOGIN file?

An often recurring problem with Unix Shell Script (bash) is that BASH_LOGIN is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that BASH_LOGIN files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the BASH_LOGIN file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.

Step 1. Install Bash

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Bash is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Bash in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open BASH_LOGIN files.

Programs to open BASH_LOGIN file

Remember to download programs supporting BASH_LOGIN files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Bash with BASH_LOGIN files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the BASH_LOGIN file still does not use the Bash program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Bash application as the default for handling the BASH_LOGIN file.

Step 3. Update Bash to the latest version

If, however, after binding Bash with Unix Shell Script (bash) there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the GNU Project page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BASH_LOGIN file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the BASH_LOGIN file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our BASH_LOGIN file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover BASH_LOGIN files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the BASH_LOGIN file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair BASH_LOGIN file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use GNU Project help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted BASH_LOGIN files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the BASH_LOGIN file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the BASH_LOGIN file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
