Subject: | bug in /etc/profile? |
X-IsSubscribed: | yes |
Hello all: I'm not sure if this is a bug or not, but I have managed to determine that /etc/profile generates a rather curious environment variable: typing set from a command prompt: noone AT sector0 ~ $ set ... USERPROFILE='C:\Documents and Settings\noone' VERSION=3.0.1 WINDIR='C:\WINDOWS' _=/home/noone/.bashrc f= noone AT sector0 ~ $ I was able to narrow down the cause to this code here in /etc/profile: <code> # Run all of the profile.d scripts # Note that these are supplied by separate packages # Ascending alphanumerical order enforced if [ -d "/etc/profile.d" ]; then while read f; do if [ -f "${f}" ]; then . "${f}" fi done <<- EOF `/bin/find /etc/profile.d -iname '*.sh' -type f | sort` EOF fi </code> Now just so all my steps are known, to test this I emptied the /etc/profile.d directory and started cygwin and the environment variable was still there on start. However if I commented out this section it would go away. Now as far as I can tell from the code in /etc/profile I couldn't see any glaring syntax errors so I'm not sure this is a bug or a feature? :) Maybe I should just enter what I've written here in the bug database and let it become checked and closed if that is indeed just a feature or something. I am still trying to track down what is causing the other variable: _=/home/noone/.bashrc -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
