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 $@ if available (and /etc/execline-shell otherwise).
- ${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 examples/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.
