(that shell'd better use ~/.<shellname>_environment ...)
And of a way to make it useable with bourne, C and other shells
(exporting is different). Proposal:
---- ~/.global_environment
LANG=de_CH
LC_MESSAGES=C
----
---- in ~/.bash_profile and /etc/X11/Xsession.d/somewhere
eval `awk '/^[^#]/{ printf("export %s\n", $0); } ~/.global_environment`
----
For csh the awk script could look like this:
awk 'BEGIN{ FS="="; } /^[^#]/{ printf("setenv %s %s\n", $1, $2); }'
Do you file the bugs? I'm on my way out here.
ciao, 2ri
