When user test has bash shell, then #su - test -c 'echo $ODSRELEASE' and #su - test -c "echo \$ODSRELEASE" don't return any value. If I turn the shell to ksh, then: #su - test -c 'echo $ODSRELEASE' return: Sun Microsystems Inc. SunOS 5.8 Generic February 2000 /some/dir/
then it appears that the .profile is not read. PS: the version of the bash is 2.05
Thanks

Hi,
I've a user /test /that has a /bin/bash shell. In his .profile file there is these lines:
ODSRELEASE=/some/dir/
export ODSRELEASE
When, as user root, I try this command:
su - test -c "echo $ODSRELEASE"
this command don't return any value.
I've also pasted these lines in .bashrc and .bash_profile but the result is the same.
I think that the profile of a user that has a bash shell isn't loaded.
