Silly question, perhaps: when Tramp > detects tramp-own-remote-path, why not just issue all remote commands > through a login shell? Two problems. First, Tramp dislikes to eval the .profile in general, because there could be settings which hinder Tramp to work properly. So it does it only when instructed to do so, and it is the responsibility of the user to ensure still proper work. Second, there does not exist a POSIX conform way to start a login shell. Tramp does it by using the -l argument, but not all shells support it. > Thanks again for everything! > -Dave Best regards, Michael. _______________________________________________ Tramp-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/tramp-devel
