From 084d07f4eb5dc3d90e28725524147e66a25b869b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nicholas Marriott Date: Wed, 8 Jul 2009 05:26:45 +0000 Subject: Just appending -l to $SHELL to create a login shell is wrong: -l is not POSIX, and some people may use shells which do not support it. Instead, make an empty default-command option mean a login shell, and fork it with a - in argv[0] which is the method used by login(1). Also fix the automatic-rename code to handle this correctly and to strip a leading - if present. --- tmux.1 | 8 ++++++-- 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) (limited to 'tmux.1') diff --git a/tmux.1 b/tmux.1 index 9d09c5a6..31e94d62 100644 --- a/tmux.1 +++ b/tmux.1 @@ -1070,8 +1070,12 @@ maintain this maximum length.
