Thank you. I was not subscribed. I went to https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/ and searched but didn’t notice that it was only page 1 of 2. I misunderstood / misread this phrase: … the shell is also considered a login shell … In particular the ‘also’. The only suggestion I can give is something like: When first starting, the shell inspects argument 0, and if it begins with a dash ‘-’, the shell is considered a login shell which is also interactive. The first time “login” is mentioned is after the “also” implying that inclusion in something else. A separate paragraph might make it clearer as well since the topic has shifted from an interactive shell to a login shell. Perry |
