Running 'dash -l' flags an error in /etc/profile:
if [[ -n ${BASH_VERSION} ]]; then
HOSTNAME=$(/usr/bin/hostname)
profile_d sh
[[ -f "/etc/bash.bashrc" ]] && . "/etc/bash.bashrc"
elif [[ -n ${KSH_VERSION} ]]; then
typeset -l HOSTNAME=$(/usr/bin/hostname)
profile_d sh
PS1=$(print
'\033]0;${PWD}\n\033[32m${USER}@${HOSTNAME}\033[33m${PWD/${HOME}/}\033[0m\n$
')
elif [[ -n ${ZSH_VERSION} ]]; then
HOSTNAME=$(/usr/bin/hostname)
profile_d zsh
PS1='(%n@%m)[%h] %~ %% '
these uses of '[[' are not supported by dash, although apparently posh
supports them.
I was trying to launch 'dash' from cmd.exe, in such a way that the
default Windows values of TMP, TMPDIR, and TEMP were overridden. For
now I can do
> set ENV=~/.dashinit
> dash
but...can we use /bin/test or a regular '[' here?
