Since my shebang is in /bin/sh, if user's /bin/sh is linked to dash, and he is using bash or zsh as his interactive shell (just like me), should he set $TERMINAL variable in .profile or shell configuration file?

I set my $TERMINAL in .profile, so I don't have such problem, but I am not sure for ppl only set this variable in .bashrc or .zshrc, will dmenufm able to know this global variable?

This should work fine no matter where it is exported from as long as it makes it to being an environment variable. So if I used fish shell and in my fish config exported $TERMINAL and the file was read at least once (like if I used fish), it would work system-wide across any application (thus dmenufm). You can export the variable from anywhere, any shell that supports it as long as that gets loaded so it would not make a difference for it to be in .zshrc or .profile or any other file that is read and exports the variable.
