One option is to put "source /sw/bin/init.sh" into ~/.bashrc , since that's the only one of the standard shell dotfiles that X11.app processes (at least pre-10.5). Setting it in .xinitrc only works for commands you invoke within that script.
In addition, you can use "open-x11 command-name" from the OS X Terminal, and you can configure your X11 terminal to use a login shell. For xterm that's "xterm -ls". -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFHPJHjB8UpO3rKjQ8RAudMAJ96sbnnn96x0O8ew8bur3fL9nHiJgCfeC78 OUZQkcJzXKn/6dFQ6lT2HjY= =NUMm -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
