Hi gyus, I noticed that mc startup needed nearly 3 seconds before anything appears, after typing mc + Enter.
Bash is my default shell. I've just added things to .bashrc recently, and it seems like there lies the cause. Among the things i added is a 'read -p' and when i remove that line, mc launches fast as usual. Does that mean mc is always creating a subshell at startup ? I don't really need that readline anymore, i just am curious why mc only starts slow, instead of (waiting for input and) not starting at all ... # mc --version GNU Midnight Commander 4.8.31 Built with GLib 2.78.4 Built with S-Lang 2.3.3 with terminfo database Built with libssh2 1.11.0 With builtin Editor and Aspell support With subshell support as default With support for background operations With mouse support on xterm and Linux console With support for X11 events With internationalization support With multiple codepages support With ext2fs attributes support Virtual File Systems: cpiofs, tarfs, sfs, extfs, ext2undelfs, ftpfs, sftpfs, shell Data types: char: 8; int: 32; long: 64; void *: 64; size_t: 64; off_t: 64; -- mc mailing list mc@lists.midnight-commander.org https://lists.midnight-commander.org/mailman/listinfo/mc
