The execline-startup script
execline-startup performs some system-specific
login initialization, then executes ${HOME}/.execline-loginshell.
Interface
/etc/execline-startup
- execline-startup sets the SHELL
environment variable to /etc/execline-shell.
It then performs some system-specific initialization, and
transforms itself into ${HOME}/.execline-loginshell $@.
- ${HOME}/.execline-loginshell must be readable and
executable by the user. It must exec into $SHELL $@.
Notes
- execline-startup is an
execlineb script; hence, it is readable
and modifiable. It is meant to be modified by the system administrator
to perform system-specific login-time initialization.
- As a modifiable configuration file, execline-startup is provided in execline's
etc/ subdirectory, and should be copied by the administrator
to /etc.
- execline-startup is meant to be used as a login shell.
System administrators should manually add /etc/execline-startup
to the /etc/shells file. The /etc/execline-startup
file itself plays the role of the /etc/profile file, and
${HOME}/.execline-loginshell plays the role of the
${HOME}/.profile file.
