The `--norc' It is true that screen while bash is the shell is only looking for the .bashrc file in the home directory. I copied .bash_profile to .bashrc and then everything worked (the same effect as "shell -$SHELL" in .screenrc). So thanx for helping.

This is a total shot in the dark, but I wonder if this little section of the manual might apply. Invoked by remote shell daemon .. Bash attempts to determine when it is being run by the remote shell daemon, usually `rshd'. If Bash determines it is being run by rshd, it reads and executes commands from `~/.bashrc', if that file exists and is readable. It will not do this if invoked as `sh'. The `--norc' option may be used to inhibit this behavior, and the `--rcfile' option may be used to force another file to be read, but `rshd' does not generally invoke the shell with those options or allow them to be specified. -- Andy Harrison ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
screen 4.00.01 FREEBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE cannot read .bash_profile
Hi, I am using screen 4.00.01 on FREEBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE. Running the csh-shell everything works correctly inside screen. But I have a user who is running the bash-shell. Now this is happening: Screen cannot read the .bash_profile unless I set the option in .screenrc: shell -$SHELL. I recognized this behavior when trying to run vim in screen. In .bash_profile vim is set as alias of vi: alias vi="vim". But screen is not able to read this alias as long as it is set in .bash_profile. If the alias is set in .cshrc: alias vi vim screen is running vim when typing vi (although the shell is still bash). It seems to me that screen is only reading or reacting to the csh-shell-environment and not to the actual given shell. I tried to set in .screenrc: shell $SHELL - but no reaction. The only thing that helped is to set in .screenrc shell -$SHELL then the .bash_profile and the bash-environment is accepted by screen. How can I change this behavior?
