Regarding the 'infinite loops' with cd, IIRC you can prefix a
builtin command with 'builtin' to force it, as opposed to
the alias/function, etc, thus you could use



	cd () {
		builtin cd $1
		# do other things here as desired
	}


Note that 'builtin' is not available in vanilla sh, but is in
bash/ksh/zsh and probably more.  I don't know if anyone besides
me worries about that level of portability anymore...
