Agreed. A problem I’ve run into several times is that shells invoked from programs are not login shells, so they don’t run the same initialization scripts as the shell you use in a terminal. (For instance, a csh login shell runs ~/.login on startup as well as ~/.cshrc, but a non-login shell doesn’t. A similar thing happens with bash but I can never remember which scripts are involved.) If you customize your $PATH in the login-shell startup script, then a shellscript run outside a terminal window won’t have the same path. —Jens _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
