(solaris, linux various flavors) do that. It is often the case that
the login shell does some very expensive initializations to set up the
environment; subsequent xterms and shells inherit that environment
and avoid the login shell overhead. For example, because of the way
the darwin X11 now manages paths and manpaths via path_helper, a
login shell can be extremely slow in starting up; I wouldn't want
that hit for every shell.
So, how do I only the first shell to be a login shell, and all
subsequent
shells and xterms (including those started from the X11-Applications
menu and the command-n shortcut) to start with regular non-login
shells
which pick up the login shell environment?
