Hi

How do I echo the current command which I typed in bash ? I know that our
current command goes and sit's in the value of "$0" However when I try
putting this inside .bashrc it does not give me correct results.

If you're trying to update the title of the xterm, you can use a DEBUG trap:

trap 'echo "$BASH_COMMAND"' DEBUG

Not the same as you expect.
But it gives the command name executed.
