Yes, of course. I now see the confusion, what I was arguing against was the idea that interactive login shells didn't read zprofile, but perhaps nobody was saying this... :) An interactive non-login shell wouldn't read zprofile, that's right. But I'm having a hard time seeing why you would need environment variables without beeing logged in. And how often do you use an interactive non-login shell that is not started from another login shell, and need the env variables? "Display manager straight into X" (without login) is not something you would want, since the env variables wouldn't be there and many things wouldn't work. regardless if they are set in zprofile or zshrc. (zshrc is *not* always read, only on interactive shells, which a display manager login shell is not. This thread is starting to get ridiculous.. :) All I want is that login shells should have the proper env vars set, regardless of whether the shell is interactive (text prompt) or not. -- /Jonatan [ http://kymatica.com ] _______________________________________________ gobolinux-devel mailing list gobolinux-devel@lists.gobolinux.org http://lists.gobolinux.org/mailman/listinfo/gobolinux-devel
