START_SH(1)     DOMAIN/IX Reference Manual (SYS5)     START_SH(1)



NAME
     cp /bin/start_sh - start a Bourne Shell

USAGE
     start_sh

DESCRIPTION
     This command can be inserted in your user start-up script so
     that, upon logging in, a Bourne Shell is immediately created
     and ready for use.  You may also issue this command from the
     Display Manager, once log-in is complete, to create as many
     active Bourne Shells as you like.  See sh (1) for more
     information about particular properties of the Bourne Shell.

     Note:  There is a distinct difference between typing
     /bin/start_sh and /bin/sh to the Display Manager.  Typing
     /bin/start_sh, lets you start a ``log-in''-style Shell even
     after initial log-in.  Thus, /bin/sh is invoked and commands
     are initially read from /etc/.profile and $HOME/.profile (if
     such files exist).
