Subject: $userdirs empty in non-interactive shells
Date: Thu, 7 Dec 2017 11:29:50 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20171207112950.GA8258@chaz.gmail.com> (raw)
Hi,
$userdirs seems to only work in interactive shells. That seems
to be due to:
> mod_export void
> adduserdir(char *s, char *t, int flags, int always)
> {
> Nameddir nd;
> char *eptr;
>
> /* We don't maintain a hash table in non-interactive shells. */
> if (!interact)
> return;
Why? It seems to me it would make as much sense to hash it in
non-interactive shells. It may be useful to be able to flush
that cache though.
Note that upon expanding $userdirs in non-interactive shells,
the code still loops over the pw entries.
So, if we don't want to change the behaviour, we may still want
to disable $userdirs altogether in non-interactive shells (and
update the documentation).
