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



NAME
     start_sh - run a log-in Bourne Shell

USAGE
     cp /bin/start_sh
     cp /bin/start_rsh

DESCRIPTION
     Start_sh starts a log-in Bourne Shell (one that reads
     /etc/profile and your own .profile).  If invoked as
     start_rsh, it starts a restricted log-in Bourne Shell.
     Include it in your DM startup script
     (user_data/startup_dm.*) to create a Bourne Shell every time
     you log in.  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).
