I ran the LANOsd and it took over my terminal? i can't get terminal access anymore it just gives me this:

Last login: Thu Aug 12 15:29:06 on ttyp1
/Volumes/LanOSD\ 1.0b2/lanosd; exit
Welcome to Darwin!
You have new mail.
xxxxxx-xxxxxxx-Computer:~ cg$ /Volumes/LanOSD\ 1.0b2/lanosd; exit
-bash: /Volumes/LanOSD 1.0b2/lanosd: No such file or directory
logout
[Process completed]


I can't get to the command line? there is no help doccuments or anything so any help would be appreciated. I'm not a terminal expert I just use it from time to time for some stuff.. but now i can't get to it at all using any of the traditonal methods..... :(

thanks

Making your Terminal functional again
Authored by: lionel77 on Aug 12, '04 10:19:33PM

I was in a similar situation once after I had installed fink. What I had done was to change the window settings of terminal and to hit 'Use settings as default'. What I didn't realize was that since the fink setup script ran in the background, I made starting it also part of the default behavior of terminal.app, effectively disabling the terminal (because the script contained an exit statement like in your case).

In order to fix the problem I deleted the terminal preferences file (~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Terminal.plist) and everything was fine again.
Hope this saves you some of the hours I spend figuring this out.
