UNIX for Beginners Questions & Answers

Hello .
Preamble :
Depending of the opensuse distrib :
Login shell read :Non login shell read :
Note that the login shell also sources the configuration files listed for non login shell.

What I have done :
I have configured '/etc/profile' to source two files
One file contains a list of global environment variables

Code:

export NAME=VALUE

The other file contains function definitions

Code:

function MY_FUNCTION () {
........
........
}
 export -f MY_FUNCTION

Using logger commands here or there, and reading the journal, I know that the two files are sourced as soon as I log on as a normal user.
I am using KDE graphical environment.


The problem :A -).
B - )
My question :

What is the inheritance of a bash script executed from a shortcut on the desktop.


Any help is welcome

Have you looked into using SHELLOPTS?

Ok I will read what SHELLOPTS is for.

But For my problem, I have found that there is some syntax error(s) in some function(s) ( found using shellcheck ).
If I run my test script from command line, all my function ( ~77 ) are all accessible to the test program.
If I run the same test script from user's desktop shortcut, only 2 are accessible.

So I must find and remove all errors in my sourced file before continuing.

Thank you for helping
