What is your expectation? Of course it will always create a subshell if you compile with --with-subshell. If you recompile with --with-subshell=optional or --without-subshell, it won't. Or you can disable subshell with a command line switch. > 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 … Subshell initialization is a complicated process. Most likely, your read -p captures something that shouldn't be captured, or mc times out, but in any case, it manages to start, most likely in some crippled form. -- mc mailing list mc@lists.midnight-commander.org https://lists.midnight-commander.org/mailman/listinfo/mc
