After the departure of Amy Poehler from “Saturday Night Live”, two newcomers are reported to land roles on the NBC’s comedy variety show. It has been informed by Associated Press that Abby Elliott and Michaela Watkins have been recruited to join in the show.

The publication details that Abby Elliott is the daughter of Chris Elliott, a regular cast on the show during the 1994-95 season, and the granddaughter of Bob Elliott, a veteran comic. Trained in Los Angeles-based Groundlings theater, she has come aboard “Saturday Night Live” via Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre, the improv/sketch group co-founded by Poehler.

Meanwhile, Watkins, who was born in Syracuse, New York and raised in Boston, is also a Groundlings alum. She has appeared on CBS’ sitcom “The New Adventures of Old Christine” for three-episode arc, playing as the patient/girlfriend of Matthew Kimble, played by Hamish Linklater.

OOTB on my desktop, tab-completion of a symlink to a directory doesn’t include the trailing slash unless you tab twice. This apparently comes from readline and not bash itself, and your ~/.inputrc can change the behavior:


mark-symlinked-directories
If set to ‘on’, completed names which are symbolic links to directories have a slash appended (subject to the value of mark-directories). The default is ‘off’.


$ cat /home/covener/.inputrc
set mark-directories On
set mark-symlinked-directories On
