I've got an account where they are running a 2.5.x version of ZSH.
I want to run 3.0.0
How can I launch 3.0.0 from my .zshenv without going into a loop
(and making sure the zsh exist?
/usr/local/bin/zsh
is the old one, and is in /etc/shells
/usr/local/luomat/bin/zsh-3.0.0
is the new one and is NOT in /etc/shells (and I can't add it)
I thought I could do this:
if [ "$ZSH_VERSION" != "3.0.0" ]
then
if [ -x /usr/local/luomat/bin/zsh-3.0.0 ]
then
exec '/usr/local/luomat/bin/zsh-3.0.0 -l'
fi
fi
I want to start 3.0.0 as a LOGIN shell, so it will souce .zshenv
However, it does not work, it says that
'/usr/local/luomat/bin/zsh-3.0.0 -l' doesn't work because there is
"no such file"
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks

ps -- please CC me, as I seem to no longer be part of the list (I'm
trying to get back on)

Thanks to Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic@srce.hr> who figured out that it
was because I had changed my $ZDOTDIR that my .zshenv was not being
seen.
It is working perfectly now.
Many thanks!

Which is correct, since you asked the shell to exec the file
'/usr/local/luomat/bin/zsh-3.0.0 -l' (with the blank and the -l). Just
remove the quotes, and it should work:
exec '/usr/local/luomat/bin/zsh-3.0.0 -l'
Greetings, Swen

Oops, the evils of cut'n'paste. Should of course be
exec /usr/local/luomat/bin/zsh-3.0.0 -l
without the quotes...
