Advantage of executing program in user shell?
Hi,
I'm curious about the advantage of forking and executing a program in a user shell as opposed to forking and executing the program directly without the user shell. For example: why is it often like: SSHD->fork&exec(shell, sftp-server)->fork&exec(sftp-server) And Not like: SSHD->fork&exec(sftp-server) Is there an advantage? TIA

but the sftp program is being accessed by a remote client and the shell features of auto-completion etc will not come into picture as the commands from the sftp client will be passed to the server as is without any modifications. Am I wrong?
