Whenever I open a new shell in Terminal, I get the following message:

sh: Blood: command not found

This showed up a couple of days ago. What the hell is it?

My best guess is that you, someone else using your computer or a bad piece of software added something to your .tcshrc file (or .bashrc, if you're using bash as your shell).

Do the following:

open up the terminal, and type 'less ~/.tcshrc'

Does the word 'Blood' appear anywhere in that file? It shouldn't.

If you find an offending line, type 'pico ~/.tcshrc' and delete the line, then save the file. On restarting the terminal app this error message should disappear.

I get a "No such file or directory" when I type that in the terminal.

However, the "blood" thing is gone. Now I get the following message when launching the terminal or a new shell:

Welcome to Darwin!
[h24-80-21-153:~] user% pbpaste | sh
sh: sh:: command not found
[h24-80-21-153:~] user%

OK, someone's been messing with your shell environment (or some program).

Try looking in .login, .cshrc or .terminal. Also, have a look at your terminal preferences. There's an option there where you can specify a file or program to run at start.
