Hi,
This may sound like a silly question, but is there a major/minor mode for
emacs that does syntax colouring and auto-formatting of bash scripts?
I've tried searching the web, but can't seem to find anything applicable.
Thanks!
Eric

Well, silly it is. 8-) Bash is supported by sh-mode, which should
already be active when you're using the .sh extension for your
file. If you don't use an extension, it will be activated after a
revert-buffer.
What version of emacs are you using or what else are you doing that
sh-mode isn't active yet?
HTH,
Anselm

Well, yes - sh mode is activated upon opening of any .sh file. However, for
some reason, I find it doesn't do any formatting and/or syntax colouring.
My nxml mode does both, so I know it isn't my terminal that is problematic.
Is there something in the config that I am missing for sh-mode?
I'm running emacs 21.4.1
Thanks,
Eric

Eric,
Does
M-x font-lock-mode
or
M-x font-lock-fontify-buffer
help?
The first will turn on fontify (syntax highlighting mode).
Is the mode-line "(Shell-script [bash])" or "(Shell-script Font[bash]") ?
The second will force the buffer to be highlighted; if
the buffer is bigger than font-lock-maximum-size
then auto-fontification is disabled.
HTH,
Colin S. Miller.

You might need to switch it on in your init file:
(global-font-lock-mode 1)

Aha - both seem to work like a charm. Thanks for the tip.

My mode-line is Shell-script[bash]. How do I change that to Font[bash]?
Thanks,

Ah.
emacs doesn't indicate if the font-lock minor mode is enabled;
Xemacs does.
Use
M-x font-lock-mode
as this enables fontifcation for all edits (until it is toggle off
by repeating M-x font-lock-mode)
M-x font-lock-fontify-buffer
does a one-off fontification - it is only useful if fontify gets confused,
which is normally caused by editing the start marker of a multi-line
block of text (a comment, string etc).

Yes. A pain but easily repaired. I find just an "F" is enough:
(or (assq 'font-lock-mode minor-mode-alist)
(setq minor-mode-alist
(cons '(font-lock-mode " F") minor-mode-alist)))

If there's not an sh-extension on the file, how does the
revert-buffer help?
(Sorry -- the only way I learn anything is by asking
stupid questions like this one.)

Opens in shell mode here when the script properly announces itself e.g
#!/bin/bash
as the first line.
To expect emacs to know otherwise would be a tad optimistic.
