No, this section is specific to zsh and probably even the wrong thing to do -- /etc/profile is only ever intended to be run by POSIX compatible shells (or shells in POSIX mode if they support that notion). I've kept it alive for the time being since nothing packaged in Cygwin depends on it. For anybody else using it for their personal customization it must already be working. > Can this section be expanded to make calls as appropriate for other > shells?

Bash can use ".sh" with the proviso that you can only use the POSIX subset of its functionality. Other, non-POSIX, shells should implement something similar in their own startup scripts. Csh already does, I don't know enough about fish to tell how to insert something into its start-up. IIRC, Zsh also has a way to run extra code besides just the one in /etc/profile if you somehow need that. > I care about this because I'm currently investigating packaging fzf[0]. > The obvious way to include the shell-specific keyboard shortcuts for fzf > is to add them to /etc/profile.d, but currently that only works for > Z-Shell. Look again, and don't let yourself get distracted by the zsh specific code. :-) Regards, Achim. -- +<[Q+ Matrix-12 WAVE#46+305 Neuron microQkb Andromeda XTk Blofeld]>+ Waldorf MIDI Implementation & additional documentation: http://Synth.Stromeko.net/Downloads.html#WaldorfDocs -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
