> I think that the man page from bash (especially invocation) has a good explanation of the different modes.
Call me stupid - it explains the behavior [as in what files are read and what aren't] quite well, but the I could not find the precise use cases of "interactiveness" and "login" explained anywhere. What is the purpose of these two modes? I mean, I can invoke both sh -i -c <command>, and sh -l -c <command>. Also, the man page contains phrases like "When an interactive shell that is not a login shell is started, (...)" which suggest that passing both -i and -l is actually possible and both have an effect [which seems to be wrong, as you pointed out]. I don't understand all of this, and just because my intuition tells me that login shells are those intended for login while interactive ones are everything else still doesn't explain why this behavior is so different. In other words: What is the motivation for having a separate "login" and "interactive" behavior? This would allow us to judge which one to choose. -- .bashrc is not executed when terminal is opened through nautilus-open-terminal https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/448337 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs -- universe-bugs mailing list universe-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/universe-bugs
