You've said that you're now sourcing "$HOME/.kshrc" if

You could add the sourcing of "$HOME/.shrc" if "$SH_VERSION" exists.

Or you could export ENV and use a case-esac of this kind:

case "$0" in
*ksh)
...
PS1='\u@\h:\w\$ '
;;
*sh)
...
PS1='${USER}@${HOST}:${PWD}\$ '
;;
esac

This solves the problem. Thanks.

You're welcome.

But, out of curiosity, which option did you choose? TIA

Ah sorry,  I used the second option. I have this in .profile:

export ENV="$HOME/.kshrc"


and this in .kshrc:


case "$0" in
*ksh)
PS1='\u@\h:\w\$ '
;;
*sh)
PS1='${USER}@${HOST}:${PWD}\$ '
;;
esac


On my NetBSD VM, sh and ksh are two different executables. ENV points to ~/.shrc which then sources ./.kshrc if KSH_VERSION = true

I have though of replicating the same configuration over to OpenBSD but I might be looking for trouble.

On a side note, there's no mention of startup files in sh(1) and I wonder why.
