Bash AutoCompletion

[tejasd]

If you are using Fedora, then please:

# yum install bash-completion

God, I wish I had known how to get this working earlier. Earlier I used to manually copy completion scripts to my home folder

Now BASH makes intelligent choices for autocompletion.

My favorite is for dbus send. Wow

Try out the following example:

dbus-send[tab][tab][tab][tab]

also in Ubuntu

the bash-completion package is also available in Ubuntu. I think it is installed by default, but if not:
"sudo apt-get install bash-completion" or via synaptic.
