Win starting rc?

[Brian Vito]

Is there a way to have Acme's Win command start an rc session rather
than bash? Also, is it possible to set the bash prompt to PS1=": {\w}
%; " if bash is started by Win? Thanks again.

export SHELL=rc

For the latter, you might find it useful to make PS1 conditional on $TERM.

This is what I use in my dotfiles to turn off the "fancy term" stuff
for use in Win/9term.

https://github.com/goozbach/dot_files/blob/master/_profile.d/95-plan9.sh


It undoes my colorful terminal prompt; re-aliases git, tree, lc, and
grep to remove color and make more 9term/plumber friendly; and
overrides the cd command to update acme's working directory.

There are probably a couple of additional things I could make it do
but I've not yet ran into other issues.

BTW I'm still using BASH as my $SHELL, I should go 'whole hog' and try
rc, but baby steps... baby steps...

When I switched to /bin/rc on Ubuntu, I found that even the
Applications>Terminal windows appeared quickly,
compared to whatever shell was being used by default. Of course, with both
9term and rc, windows appear immediately.

Ubuntu has a lot of shit that bash has to run before it starts to "improve the user experience."

Bash was ported to plan 9?

also p9p mk defaults to bash , so it's good to set MKSHELL=rc on top of
mkfiles.
