Aha. I think I'm getting somewhere. If I run xterm with the -e option, regardless of -ls being present or not, the shell used to spawn the -e command is *NOT* a login shell. This way, when I run: xterm => not login shell xterm -ls => login shell xterm -e /bin/sh => not login shell xterm -ls -e /bin/sh => not login shell either So it's not the -ls option that is causing your aterm windows to be non-login shells, but it looks like it is the -e option that does this. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
