Well I can appreciate having separate profiles for sh and bash. I have cron
jobs and cgi scripts that need a certain consistent environment that differs
from the environment used for development. But the problem is I cannot seem
to locate the mechanism to trigger all shells derived from a user logon to
be logon shells. Such a mechanism must exist or there would be no point in
having separate profiles. Or perhaps disperate packagers are not
coordinating?
