Ah. Well, "$@" doesn't include the option switches even in bash, and
bash has the same behavior as zsh with respect to $0 and the first non-
option argument following a -c command. Even if you did have the option
switches, you couldn't use them if $SHELL had changed from the original
shell.
Also, "$SHELL_ARGS" is going to be one argument where the original "$@"
may have had several.
And I should repeat the warning about `export SHELL_ARGS="$@"' -- "$@"
is an array with each element quoted, so what you've really written is
export SHELL_ARGS="$1" "$2" "$3" ...
which is probably not what you meant. Using "$@" works in bash because it
treats the arguments to `export' as if they were assignment expressions;
but in zsh that requires `setopt kshtypeset' (4.0.2 and later).
Anyway, it's very difficult to restart the shell exactly as it was invoked
unless you stash the arguments very early in .zshenv and have a cooperative
/etc/zshenv. Probably the best thing would be along the lines of:
restart_saveargs() {
local x='(interactive|shinstdin|stdin)'
local -a on off
typeset -ga restart_args restart_options
on=( ${(ok)options[(R)on]:#$~x} )
off=( ${(ok)options[(R)off]:#$~x}} )
restart_options=(
${on:+-o} ${(j.-o .)=on}
${off:++o} ${(j.+o .)=off}
)
restart_args=( "$@" )
}
restart() {
emulate -L zsh
if [[ $SHELL:t = zsh* ]]; then
exec $SHELL $restart_options $restart_args
else
exec $SHELL $restart_args
fi
}
restart_saveargs "$@"
And now that's probably more glorious detail than I should have included.
