Is there a way to use bash instead of tcsh with xterm?
If you have bash configured as your login shell then
create
a .Xdefaults file in your home directory (if you don't
already have one) and add this line:
*loginShell: true
This directive will take your login shell information and
use it when launching xterm. Note that the directive is
case-sensitive.
This is not what you want. From the man page:
loginShell (class LoginShell)
Specifies whether or not the shell to be run in
the window should be started as a login shell.
The default is ``false.''
Running as a login shell means that the shell will attempt to do
(normally) one-time initialization steps, such as loading
.login/.profile. xterm should automatically run whatever shell you have
specified in netinfo. You should be able to change this using "NetInfo
Manager".
