How to open BASH_LOGOUT file?

The most common problem when using Unix Shell Script (bash) is that a specific BASH_LOGOUT is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that BASH_LOGOUT 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_LOGOUT 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

In this case, you should first verify that the Bash application 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. Below you will find a list of applications that support BASH_LOGOUT files.

Programs to open BASH_LOGOUT file

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

Step 2. Create association of Bash with BASH_LOGOUT files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the BASH_LOGOUT file still does not use the Bash program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the BASH_LOGOUT file with the Bash application.

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. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the GNU Project website and install the latest version.

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

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The BASH_LOGOUT file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the BASH_LOGOUT file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our BASH_LOGOUT file. Sometimes virus-infected BASH_LOGOUT files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of BASH_LOGOUT file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged BASH_LOGOUT files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact GNU Project
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted BASH_LOGOUT files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the BASH_LOGOUT file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file BASH_LOGOUT to close. However, some background programs may block the BASH_LOGOUT file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
