8908.0. "-su in /etc/profile" by IOSG::MARSHALL () Thu Feb 20 1997 10:41
/etc/profile tests for the program that invoked it via a 'case' on $0. The
sample values included in the default /etc/profile are -sh, -ksh and -su. The
first two are obvious, but when is '-su' used? The obvious suggestion is with
'su -' but that doesn't do it; you get -sh, -ksh, etc.
Or is it a left-over feature that's not used anywhere? I just want to know
whether I should be doing anything with this value.
Thanks,
Scott

| I guess it's probably safe to disregard "-su" then! :-)
