Can't you either a) use sh, where .bash_profile and .bashrc both source /etc/bashrc which loads Environment cache, etc. (I think sh is expected to be used for most non-interactive things; zsh is for interactive shenanigans) b) use +f on the zsh command line to force sourcing /etc/zshrc c) add [[ `basename $SHELL` == zsh ]] && source /etc/zshrc to the .xinitrc Moving everything to /etc/zprofile won't work because the main concern is to make sure it's loaded in all _interactive_ shells. (which zprofile isn't, it's only login shells; zshrc on the other hand is for exactly this.) You could have zshrc source zprofile, or you could just let scripts run in sh (which they pretty much all do) and leave the slim config running sh --login (which it does by default) and everything will be fine. So I guess my question is: Why do you feel a need to change "sh" to "zsh" on that line anyway? It's not like you'll ever see that shell, all it does is launch whatever program you tell it to. > > -- > /Jonatan [ http://kymatica.com ] _______________________________________________ gobolinux-devel mailing list gobolinux-devel@lists.gobolinux.org http://lists.gobolinux.org/mailman/listinfo/gobolinux-devel
