I wrote:The behavior of "bash --login -i" seems to vary depending on whether it is a "root" invocation or a nested invocation of bash. This is inconsistent with the description man bash, and seems to be a bug.
Can anyone confirm (or "anti-confirm") this behavior?:
Details:
When bash is started using the Cygwin shortcut (which runs cygwin.bat, which executes "bash --login -i"), bash reads files /etc/profile and ~/.bash_profile. (Running "bash --login -i" from an interactive "cmd" shell does the same.)
However, when in that first bash process, another bash is started with that same "bash --login -i" command, bash does _not_ read /etc/profile.
