Subject: Environment variables set by /env/bin/init disappear when script exits
Date: Tue, 11 Jun 2019 15:52:48 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <ccde5e10-c624-f8b1-93f8-48d76ff699bd@mev.co.uk> (raw)
Since commit 90df2a955e3c ("defaultenv: Convert init script to C"), if
the legacy /env/bin/init script is still being used, any environment
variables that were set in the script (such as the PS1 prompt) disappear
when the script exits. I guess it is because the script is now run
directly by run_command(initfile) (initfile is "/env/bin/init") rather
than by run_command("source /env/bin/init").
