Yep - POSIX requires that the shell preserve any inherited environment variables that cannot form valid shell variables. They come from Windows, and you can generally ignore them. > I cannot get rid of these using "unset !C:" Is there a way to delete > system variables? Why do you need them deleted? If you really do have a use case where they negatively affect a child process, then you can use env -u to unset them for the child process. There's no way to unset them in the bash process, but there's also no way for the bash process to misbehave because they are present. -- Eric Blake ebl...@redhat.com +1-801-349-2682 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
