Am in the process of adding functionality. I have a shiny new feature working locally: Context Menu item checks /etc/passwd for the preferred shell of the current user, and starts that as a login shell using the specified term.
At the moment it has some quite horrible quoting going on, and I'm trying to shoehorn in another exec. Does anyone think this is a useful feature? Or is this going to be a nightmare to support across multiple platforms? The essential command line ignoring (most) quoting issues would be something like: [term cmd] /bin/sh -c "scmd=`sed -n \"s?$USERNAME:.*:\(.*\)?\1?gp\" /etc/passwd`; exec \"$scmd -l -c \"cd '%1'; exec $scmd\"\"\"" Possible issues: 1. I'm guessing USERNAME is windows specific and may not be available on 9x. Could use id -un at the expense of more quoting/variables. Is $USER available in a non-login sh? 2. When creating the key, I check /etc/passwd is present. But what if something nasty happens to it? Will it always be readable? 3. Should we care if someones passwd says user:...:/bin/rm -f *; ? Comments appreciated. Dave __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com
