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:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ set ... USERPROFILE='C:\Documents and Settings\noone' VERSION=3.0.1 WINDIR='C:\WINDOWS' _=/home/noone/.bashrc f=
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $
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
