calling shell in .profile

in Oracle Solaris System Administration (MOSC) 5 commentsAnswered

So, there's this Solaric Sparc system, and in that system there's an account which is setup for use with Korn Shell. When you login, it says: variable SHELL points to ksh

So, I look in .profile

which is a file that must be respected, since the Korn Shell is setup as shell for this account.

But what do I find in the .profile script .. it is setting variables and all, and then just calls "bash"

I have never seen something like that. So, that means this account always uses Bash as a Shell, while being setup for Korn Shell.

Is that OK or not ?

Howdy, Stranger!
