I took a dive in the actual code at http://modules.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/modules/modules/ to see how it works... 1. ... aren't the shells and their environment files imported interfaces too, e.g. shouldn't the list include /usrbin/bash (and ~/.bashrc + ~/.bash_profile), /usr/bin/ksh (and ~/.profile, ~/.kshrc + ~/.kshrc), /usr/bin/ksh93 (and ~/.profile,~/.kshrc + ~/.kshrc), /usr/bin/zsh (erm... I don't know exactly which files zsh uses for startup) etc. ? 2. Please correct me if I am wrong... but does the "modules" stuff differ between "login shell" and "interactive shell" ? ---- Bye, Roland -- __ . . __ (o.\ \/ /.o) roland.mainz at nrubsig.org \__\/\/__/ MPEG specialist, C&&JAVA&&Sun&&Unix programmer /O /==\ O\ TEL +49 641 3992797 (;O/ \/ \O;)
