START_SH(1)
NAME
cp /bin/start_sh − start a Bourne Shell
USAGE
start_sh
DESCRIPTION
This command can be inserted in your user start-up script so that, upon logging in, a Bourne Shell is immediately created and ready for use. You may also issue this command from the Display Manager, once log-in is complete, to create as many active Bourne Shells as you like. See sh (1) for more information about particular properties of the Bourne Shell.
Note: There is a distinct difference between typing /bin/start_sh and /bin/sh to the Display Manager. Typing /bin/start_sh, lets you start a “log-in”-style Shell even after initial log-in. Thus, /bin/sh is invoked and commands are initially read from /etc/.profile and $HOME/.profile (if such files exist).
