Subject: Check for presence of SHELL environment variable
X-Git-Url: https://jasonwoof.com/gitweb/?p=st.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=bafbba56cd5735c680676db2adf6f614ba61356f;ds=sidebyside

Check for presence of SHELL environment variable

- POSIX states the SHELL environment variable "... shall represent a
  pathname of the user's preferred command language interpreter." As
  such, st should check for its presence when deciding what shell to
  use; just as HOME can be defined to override one's passwd-defined home
  directory, a user should also be able to override their passwd-defined
  shell using the SHELL environment variable.
