Linux /etc/profile 关键步骤解析

一、交互模式、非交互模式

• himBH 是 interactive 模式
• hB 是 non-interactive 模式

[root@lzq ~]# echo $-
himBH
[root@lzq ~]# echo "${-#*i}"
mBH				# ${-#*i} Remove Smallest Prefix Pattern. 移除了 hi 。
[root@lzq ~]# bash a.sh
hB
hello world!
[root@lzq ~]# cat a.sh
#!/bin/bash
echo $-
echo "hello world!"

二、/etc/profile 关键步骤

• sh.local 文件的内容
• 我们增加环境变量可以覆盖此文件

cat sh.local
#Add any required envvar overrides to this file, it is sourced from /etc/profile

for i in /etc/profile.d/*.sh /etc/profile.d/sh.local ; do
    if [ -r "$i" ]; then # 文件是否可读判断
    	# # interactive 模式判断
        if [ "${-#*i}" != "$-" ]; then # 截取后是否相等，判断 i 是否存在
            . "$i"		# interactive 模式, 执行每个 *.sh
        else
            . "$i" >/dev/null # non-interactive 模式, 丢弃不执行。
        fi
    fi
done


# if [ "${-#*i}" != "$-" ]
# It's checking whether the shell is interactive

三、What does the if [ “${-#*i}” != “$-” ] mean?

$- is a variable which stores the current options set by the shell.

${-#*i} is using substring removal to remove the shortest match to the pattern *i from the beginning of the variable.
So if$- has the valueabcifOO then ${-#*i} would be fOO.

This means that the test

[ "${-#*i}" != "$-" ]

will be true if the variable $- contains the option i , which means interactive mode is switched on.

All together this means that the output will only be redirected to /dev/null if you are in interactive mode.

$- 意味着shell标志。

${-#*i} 意味着shell标志减去第一个匹配 *i 。

如果这两个不相等，那么该 shell 被认为是交互式的（标志i存在）。
