Re: [Xquartz-dev] Initial xterm a login shell?

The xterm is launched from a login shell, so even though the xterm itself isn't a login shell, it has inherited from a true login shell. So, you get the same effect if you are using bash as your shell.

The ancestry of the shell in the inital xterm (as shown by ps l) is bash xterm login X11 launchd launchd (process 1) Where is the login shell? In my case it does appear to inherit the correct $PATH, but evidently it doesn't for some people - that was the origin of this discussion. But because it doesn't run my .bash_login, other things (in particular stty settings) are wrong. -- Richard -- The University of Edinburgh is a charitable body, registered in Scotland, with registration number SC005336.
