You need to define "problem" first :) I want "vi" to always call "vim" .. hrmm.. unless I've explicitly done something to explicitly over-ride that. So anytime I type in 'vi' and don't get the VIM Huge version without GUI I'd say that's a problem. I've got "export EDITOR=vi" in my .bash_profile, so anytime $EDITOR is called I want the huge version of vim. If that doesn't happen I'd say that is a problem. If I'm in a bash sheel & do /bin/sh I expect typing in 'vi' will get me the same results as when I was in bash Same deal with dash -- I still want my expected version of vim to run So ... a very long way of saying No, I don't think the second shell not being a login shell is 'the problem.' My experience is that Debian always does the right thing wrt vi/vim. Cygwin does not. It'd be interesting to know if redhat linux uses alternatives or an alias to decide which vi/vim gets called.
