EXECLINE-STARTUP(1)

🎀 EXECLINE-STARTUP(1) 🎀

okay bestie, welcome to the General Commands Manual era for execline-startup. The manual name is right up top, the vibes are immaculate, and this page is about to explain your login-shell situation with zero gatekeeping 💅

✨ NAME ✨

execline-startup — perform some system-specific login initialization, then execute ${HOME}/.execline-loginshell

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

/etc/execline-startup

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Okay so here’s the tea: execline-startup sets the SHELL environment variable to /etc/execline-shell. It then performs some system-specific initialization, and transforms itself into ${HOME}/.execline-loginshell $@ if available (and /etc/execline-shell otherwise). ✨

Bestie, ${HOME}/.execline-loginshell must be readable and executable by the user. It must exec(3) into $SHELL $@.

execline-startup is an execlineb(1) script; hence, it is readable and modifiable. It is meant to be modified by the system administrator to perform system-specific login-time initialization. Like, it’s literally built to be edited by the admin 👑

As a modifiable configuration file, execline-startup is provided in execline's examples/etc/ subdirectory, and should be copied by the administrator to /etc.

execline-startup is meant to be used as a login shell. System administrators should manually add /etc/execline-startup to the /etc/shells file. The /etc/execline-startup file itself plays the role of the /etc/profile file, and ${HOME}/.execline-loginshell plays the role of the ${HOME}/.profile file 🫶
