zsh login going remarkably slow

zsh login going remarkably slow

[Fafa Hafiz Krantz]

hey!

i just installed zsh on both my freebsd boxes.
on one of them it works like a charm. on the other, it doesn't.

for this other box, it takes a long time for the prompt to appear.
also for it to re-appear when i su to root.

this /etc/zshrc file are used for both:

umask 022

alias vi='vim'
alias j='jobs -l'
alias h='history'
alias ls='ls -G'
alias cd..='cd ..'
alias cd...='cd ../..'
alias cd....='cd ../../..'
alias cd.....='cd ../../../..'
alias cd......='cd ../../../../..'
alias cd/='cd /'
alias wf='w -f'
alias ws='w -s'
alias df='df -h'
alias ftp='lftp'

alias pfdump='tcpdump -n -e -ttt -r /var/log/pflog'
alias pfmon='tcpdump -n -e -ttt -i pflog0'
alias pfreload='pfctl -F all && pfctl -f /etc/pf.conf'

autoload -U compinit
compinit

if [[ `whoami` = root ]] then
PROMPT=$'%{\e[01;31m%}(%{\e[22;31m%}%n%{\e[01;30m%}@%{\e[22;31m%}%m%{\e[01;31m%})%{\e[01;31m%}%{\e[01;31m%}(%{\e[22;31m%}%D{%H:%M}%{\e[01;30m%}:%{\e[22;31m%}%D{%m/%d/%y}%{\e[01;31m%})%{\e[01;30m\e[00m%}\n%{\e[01;31m%}(%{\e[22;31m%}%#%{\e[01;30m%}:%{\e[22;31m%}%~%{\e[01;31m%})%{\e[01;30m\e[00m%} '
fi

i tried recompiling zsh, but that didn't make no difference.
i don't know how to capture the output of zsh -x.

zsh -x > file doesn't work, and my entire shell gets twisted after
running zsh -x.

last but not the least, i was wondering if anyone could help me
split my prompt line up. i've tried this here. it works, but i get
an error message saying there's no such command followed by a paste
of the 2nd line here. if it's due to the whitespace below PROMPT,
well i kinda want it there because it's superneat.

PROMPT=$'%{\e[01;34m%}(%{\e[22;34m%}%n%{\e[01;30m%}@'\
       $'%{\e[22;34m%}%m%{\e[01;34m%})%{\e[01;34m%}%{\e[01;34m%}('\
       $'%{\e[22;34m%}%D{%H:%M}%{\e[01;30m%}:%{\e[22;34m%}%D{%m/%d/%y}'\
       $'%{\e[01;34m%})%{\e[01;30m\e[00m%}%{\n%}%{\e[01;34m%}('\
       $'%{\e[22;34m%}%#%{\e[01;30m%}:%{\e[22;34m%}%~%{\e[01;34m%})'\
       $'%{\e[01;30m\e[00m%} '

thanks!

Re: zsh login going remarkably slow

[Eric Mangold]

Could it be that it's rebuilding ~/.zcompdump every time? After a system  
upgrade I started having that problem: .zcompdump was re-generated even if  
it existed. I didn't figure out the root cause but just started using the  
-C switch to compinit. This made it fast again.

"This other box" doesn't happen to be an NFS client using the zsh
installation mounted from the first box, does it?

} split my prompt line up.

It sounds to me as if you need to go learn some more general things
about shells and how command lines are parsed.  The fact that you
have to ask about this ...

} if it's due to the whitespace below PROMPT,

... indicates that you lack a basic understanding of the syntax.

Yes, it's due to the whitespace.

} well i kinda want it there because it's superneat.

You can't always get what you want.

The closest you're going to get is this:

PROMPT=$'%{\e[01;34m%}(%{\e[22;34m%}%n%{\e[01;30m%}@'
PROMPT+=$'%{\e[22;34m%}%m%{\e[01;34m%})%{\e[01;34m%}%{\e[01;34m%}('
PROMPT+=$'%{\e[22;34m%}%D{%H:%M}%{\e[01;30m%}:%{\e[22;34m%}%D{%m/%d/%y}'
PROMPT+=$'%{\e[01;34m%})%{\e[01;30m\e[00m%}%{\n%}%{\e[01;34m%}('
PROMPT+=$'%{\e[22;34m%}%#%{\e[01;30m%}:%{\e[22;34m%}%~%{\e[01;34m%})'
PROMPT+=$'%{\e[01;30m\e[00m%} '

(Note I've deleted the backslashes from the ends of the lines.)

Actually, yeah! I've deleted the .zcompdump a lot of times but
it still keeps appearing. The -C switch, you say? I'll try! Thanks!
